Owners of historic residences in Bonaire, St. Eustatius and Saba will soon be able to apply for financial assistance to restore their properties.
A new pilot subsidy programme opens September first with a one-time budget of 1.1 million US dollars.
The initiative targets privately owned residential monuments requiring major maintenance or restoration.
Eligible preservation costs must exceed 25,000 dollars, with grants of up to 100,000 dollars available per property.
Buildings do not require formal protected status to qualify.
Structures older than 50 years may also be eligible if they are considered important because of their beauty, artistic value or historical significance.
Officials say monument owners in the Caribbean Netherlands face high maintenance expenses due to limited specialist materials and increased transportation costs.
The programme will also help the Dutch Education and Culture Ministry gain practical experience for future heritage-management policies in the region.
Applications will be accepted only between September first and thirtieth through the Cultural Heritage Agency of the Netherlands.
