2001. évi LXIV. törvény a kulturális örökség védelméről / A kulturális örökségről szóló törvény (Act LXIV of 2001 on the Protection of Cultural Heritage / Cultural Heritage Act)

The fundamental law on cultural heritage in Hungary that has encompassed the field of built heritage, archaeology, parks and gardens, and protected works of art since 2001.
The law is due to undergo basic transformation in 2024, as built heritage will be the subject of the new Law on Hungarian Architecture, created in 2023 whose sections on built heritage are due to take over the function of this law from 1. October 2024.
The fields of archaeology, parks and gardens, and protected works of art will continue possibly in a new law on cultural heritage.
Currently (since around 2013) there is no specialist state institution in the field of cultural heritage, the main state functions are assigned by the law to a Minister.
