The Constitution of Denmark, also known as the Danish Constitutional Act of 1953, does not contain explicit provisions or detailed references to culture and cultural heritage. Unlike some other constitutions that might specifically address cultural matters, the Danish Constitution focuses primarily on the structure of the government, fundamental rights, and the powers of different branches of government.

However, while the Danish Constitution itself does not explicitly mention culture and cultural heritage, Denmark’s commitment to these areas is reflected in other legal frameworks and policies such as the Cultural Policy Act (Lov om Kulturpolitik).

The Ministry of Culture (Kulturministeriet) is involved in the overall cultural policy framework and provides the strategic direction for cultural policy, including cultural heritage management. The Agency for Culture and Palaces (Slots- og Kulturstyrelsen) acts as the operational arm, executing the ministry’s policies and managing day-to-day activities related to cultural heritage. The Agency has the regulatory responsibility for sites, monuments and listed buildings. 

It holds the overall responsibility for the protection of ancient sites and monuments, and for the archaeological excavations undertaken by Danish museums. It is also responsible for listing buildings of national significance and contributing to their restoration through funding. In collaboration with the Danish Ministry of the Environment, the Danish Agency for Culture and Palaces lays down overall guidelines for securing valuable cultural environments.
