- Support, an important property for Switzerland.--Arbnos (talk) 15:17, 27 April 2021 (UTC)
- Support Thanks Sascha, do you know whether we can map these to cantonal identifiers such as Denkmaldatenbank Thurgau ID (P8493)? --Hannes Röst (talk) 14:53, 30 April 2021 (UTC)
- Hannes Röst: We can map them via their street address, but are there really only 28 heritage buildings in Thurgau? —Sascha (talk) 14:35, 20 May 2021 (UTC)
