What’s the difference between “pattern” and “heritage”?

I’d like to know what’s the difference between “Patrimony” and “Heritage”?

I noticed that there’s some overlap between the two, but it’s not clear to me how they differ. Is there a single fact between the two? When I see things right, heritage is not necessarily related to wealth. There are many types of heritages, cultural heritage, natural heritage, cultural heritage, and more natural heritage. I suppose the word “patrimony” isn’t fit for these contexts, right? When we are talking about wealth and money being inherited by someone, is it correct to use both terms? Are these terms interchangeable?

Thank you!

Just as patrimony and heritage have the following point in common – both signify something that you get from your predecessors – the two have a different point due to the specificity of the word “patrimonial”. Patrimonial strictly means something that you inherit from a male ancestor, more precisely your father, whereas heritage is something that you inherit from the past, no matter from whom.

What is heritage?

What does heritage mean in this context?

However patrimony restrains it to materialistic objects, wealth, etc., what we mean by patrimony?

Hope this helps.

Thanks.
