That one looks good to me. However, Immeuble locatif à la Porte Molitor and Chapelle Notre-Dame-du-Haut de Ronchamp appear a bit offset. Shape is perfect, but not exactly aligned with the element on the background map.

Maritime Greenwich: I haven't been there myself, but there's a tile with the UNESCO WHC logo on the sidewalk in front of the West Gate (entrance into the grounds of the Old Royal Naval College, where also the Tourist Information is). It is here: 51°28'55.7"N 0°00'31.3"W.

Vilnius Historic Centre

If a mapper could have a look at Curonian Spit for a second opinion, as it is not fully clear to me: I read the official map like the Lithuanian part includes a marine area in the core zone, and once the spit crosses the border into Russia, it becomes a different national park and its borders follow the coast line only?

Yep I agree, in the nomination dossier it has this text, which corresponds to your interpretation:

Buffer zone: on the Russian part of- aquatory of the Baltic Sea and of the Curonian Lagoon within 1 km from the coast line
