Wakker Prize
The Wakker Prize (German: [Wakkerpreis] Error: {{Lang}}: text has italic markup (help), French: [Prix Wakker] Error: {{Lang}}: text has italic markup (help), Italian: [Premio Wakker] Error: {{Lang}}: text has italic markup (help)) is given every year by the Swiss Heritage Society to a municipality of Switzerland for the making and saving of its historical buildings.
In 2005, the prize was given to the Swiss Federal Railways, rather than a municipality.
The prize is named for Henri-Louis Wakker, a Swiss banker and real estate entrepreneur. His will provided a considerable sum of money without conditions to the Swiss Heritage Society, which in 1972 created the Wakker Prize in his honor.
