Estates and landscapes will take place at Gammel Estrup the Manor Museum October 6 th -7 th The conference will be an upstart for the project European encounters, Castles and manors as European cultural heritage, which aims to explore and highlight regional variations and notable similarities in the history of castles and manors across Europe from The central theme of the conference will be the manorial landscape. The manor house and its gardens the seat of the estate and the home of the family with a highly visible display of wealth and power has often been recognized as the dominant feature of the estate. But management and designation also had a profound impact on the agricultural or natural parts of the estate. This conference examines the physical, social and symbolic interaction of house, gardens and estate lands in a historical perspective. It will explore similarities and differences in regions across Europe and discuss how estate landscapes are preserved and interpreted as cultural heritage today. Crossing traditional boundaries between history, archaeology, art history, architecture and heritage management, the conference programme presents acclaimed scholars of castles, manors and estates in a European perspective. An important aim of the conference is to further international transdisciplinary partnerships between researchers and professionals in universities and museums. The conference programme thus concludes with a workshop to discuss research interest and outline themes for future cooperation. Participants are invited to join the project European encounters, Castles and manors as European cultural heritage, and to form a partnership with the aim to shape an EU-application in culture, research and/or cultural heritage in 2016, and to prepare for an international conference in Research themes may include the economic and sociological influence of manors in local communities, elite consumption and international networks, and transcultural impulses in art, architecture, fashion, science and politics among the European landed gentry.
