The paper deals with the question of how changing perceptions of traditional workmanship influenced the remodelling of urban conservation policies and practices in Røros, Norway. The historical overview of shifting conservation policies revealed that varying features were attributed to the multifaceted concept of traditional workmanship. Lastly, the recently performed survey of demand for traditional workmanship in Røros indicated that present conservation practices still face challenges of industrial production due to misinterpretation of the concept of traditional workmanship.
