The edition was published as part of large scale cultural action started in 1984 by France, which initiated Historic Monuments Open Day, when usually inaccessible monuments were open for public. With time, this initiative spread to other countries, such as Luxemburg, Belgium, the Netherlands, Sweden, etc.), and in 1991 the Council of Europe, supported by the European Union, officially announced European Heritage Days. Since 1999, this programme is run jointly with the European Union.

Every year the participating countries offer their own themes for the international project, but all of them are contiguous with the common motto, coined in 1999 as continuation of the theme of the Council of Europe 1999—2000 campaign «Europe, a Common Heritage». The «national» themes of European Heritage Days cover a broad spectrum of events and focus on various forms of cultural and historical heritage, historical periods of the development of the countries, architectural styles, mutual inter connection of the cultural heritage and the public.
