    Buildings Database

    Topics:
    • Historic environment, 
    • Historic Environment Record of Northern Ireland (HERoNI), 
    • Listed Buildings

    The NI Buildings Database contains records of buildings that have been considered of sufficient architectural or historic interest to merit a survey, and most, though not all, have been Listed.

    Before you start

    Description of houses, churches and public buildings, as well as other features such as fountains and telephone kiosks are available to view online.

    Buildings Database

    Additional information

    Most of the information contained in the Buildings Database relates to listed buildings. Information about buildings that do not quite meet this standard, or have been demolished and/or removed from the list is also included.

    Our GIS layers can be obtained through the open data NI portal and also from our website. 

    The survey information for our earlier records is somewhat limited, if you require further detail for such a record, please contact our Listing team at Historic Environment Division.
