Wakker Prize

Wakker Prize

The Wakker Prize (in German: "Wakkerpreis", in French "Prix Wakker", in Italian "Premio Wakker") is awarded annually by the Swiss Heritage Society to a Municipality of Switzerland for the development and preservation of its architectural heritage.

In 2005, the prize was given to the Swiss Federal Railways, rather than a municipality.

The prize is named for Henri-Louis Wakker.
