Ochrona zabytków architektury wiejskiej w zespoleniu z ochroną krajobrazu i środowiska : możliwości i ograniczenia

The system of the protection of monuments of rural architecture in Poland includes only the most valuable objects. The remaining monuments succumb to devastation, and conservation work is limited to documentation. This is the reason why it is so important to implement new forms of activity which will increase the number of salvaged objects. Special opportunities for the protection of rural monuments are created by their transference by private investors and adaptation for summer cottages. Conservation and organisation requirements indicate that such objects should be amassed in groups functioning as villages composed of summer residences. The best sites for such villages are landscape parks. The possibilities and limitations of the protection of rural architecture monuments, moved to summer residence villages located in landscape parks, are presented upon the example of Mięćmierz in the Kazimierski Landscape Park.
