European churches were among the first buildings in continuous use to be perceived and treated as historical monuments. Correspondingly, a new group of professionals developed, which were favoured by, and reproduced, the notion that places of worship should be considered a cultural heritage and as such in need of protection. The well-known duality – between religious use and heritage preservation – that characterises the use and significance of the church building and the claims that go with it, has regularly been described as a source of conflict involving issues of entitlement and control. The case study is contextualised and interpreted in a long-term historical perspective, and the duality analysed theoretically as conceptual constraints and intersections in two different orders of pastness for the religious and the historic monument.
