Registry of Cultural Property (Lithuania)
Lists registered objects of the Republic of Lithuania cultural heritage
Registry of Cultural Property (Lithuanian: Kultūros vertybių registras) is a heritage register for Lithuanian cultural property deemed to be of outstanding heritage significance. The list includes natural, historic places and cultural objects. The registry itself has legal authority.
Valid since 2005, but officially established in 2007 by the decree of the Government of Lithuania and managed by the Department of Cultural Heritage. In 2020, the Register of Cultural Property contained more than 25,000 individual and complex immovable cultural property items and parts thereof, and more than 7,000 movable cultural property items.
Decisions regarding the inclusion of cultural property in the Register list are taken by the Minister of Culture, on the advice of the Cultural Heritage Appraisal Board.

Why this record matters
The phrase “lists registered objects of the Republic of Lithuania cultural heritage” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 3, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q12661678. None of the 2 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2005, 2007 and 2020.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
