LandmarksOrHistoricalBuildings

LandmarksOrHistoricalBuildings is a direct Place subtype for historic landmarks, heritage-listed buildings, battlefields, monuments, and culturally significant structures. It adds no properties of its own.

Most historic landmarks are also tourist destinations; dual-type with TouristAttraction to unlock tourism-specific properties (touristType, availableLanguage). Use sameAs to link to Wikidata, UNESCO, or national heritage registers.

Google rich results this unlocks

LandmarksOrHistoricalBuildings is a structural type. It does not produce a rich result on its own.

Its value comes from combining it with a primary type whose markup earns a rich result (Article, Product, Event, and so on). LandmarksOrHistoricalBuildings becomes the trunk that the primary type branches off viamainEntityorbreadcrumb. Include it on every page as the backbone of your markup.

Common LandmarksOrHistoricalBuildings mistakes

Mistakes that pass validation but silently fail to earn rich results or mislead consumers walking the graph. Avoid these and your markup will be ahead of most sites in the wild.

  1. 01

    Using Museum for historic buildings

    Wrong
    Museum on a heritage building that is not an active museum
    Right
    LandmarksOrHistoricalBuildings for heritage sites; Museum for active collecting institutions

    A heritage-listed structure open for visits is not the same as a curating museum. The distinction matters for cultural indexers.
