The map of historic monuments in Poland shows an ever smaller number of the examples that illustrate sacred wooden architecture. The reasons for their dilapidation are varied and it is often the conservation service that is to be blamed for their condition. These notes shoula help the General Conservator of Monuments in setting out guide-lines for the protection of a reduced number of the examples of wooden architecture and building in Poland. 1. On May 28, 1984 a church at Załęże (formerly Załuże) and its furnishings got burnt completely. According to the tradition the church was raised in 1700. Still, the analysis of the church’s structure, based on the photograph, shows that th e church porch was b u ilt later than the presbytery and the nave. Most probably the church porch had originally the same mass and measurements as the preserved presbytery. Thus, originally, the church, tripartite and three-domed, represented an older version of wooden temples of the Eastern Church which had been popular between the basins of the Dnieper and the San rivers. Judging by some archaic constructional elements, both the presbytery and nave might have been built before 1700, while their reconstruction might have traken place in 1770. (This is the date of the supposed church’s modernization). . 2. In 1980 a district monuments’ conservator a t Krosno agreed to transfer a church a t Lutowiska, which had no user, to Dwernik. The effect of this transfer, done without conservators’ surveillance, can be best illustrated by photograps. The church a t Lutowiska, built in 1898, represented one of national trends of the Ukrainian style that was typical of the actions taken by Polish, Ukrainian, Czech and Russian cultural elites a t the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. The same holds true of the ea rlie r mentioned churches at Lutowiska (189) and at Bystre (1902), ali of them situated in a close vicinity to each other. 3. Just like the just discussed church, the church a t Lipowiec from 1900, burnt in 1980, unused nowadays, was most probably built according to the same design drawn by the architect and built by the team of carpenters who had a profound professional knowledge and a high level of technical skills. 4. The Unia te church at Paniszczow, built in 1925, was pulled down in 1980 (since 1947 it had no user). The church represented the oldest link in the same variant of the national Ukrainian style as in the case of the earlier mentioned churches at Lutowiska, Lipie and Bystre. This variant combined traditional and allegedly original forms (built on a Greek-cross plan and striving for the five domes) with a local building tradition (stressed out with three fine domes and an oblong arrangement of the structure, which in practice meant giving up a five-dome layout). 5. As regards its mass and pa rtially its layout the church a t Roztoki Dolne, built in ca 1830, resembled a small and simple Latin parish church. This temple was characteristic of a transit area between ethnographic groups of the Bojkovie and of the Lempkovie, in the past quite thickly populated with the ethnic Polish group. During repair work in 1983 this historic structure Was ennobled to the rank of a fine two-tower temple. Maybe, new qualities have been created, just as it was the case with Dwernik-Lutow.iska. Still, in both cases historic monuments have ceased to exist and this kind of procedure has nothing in common with the protection of cultural property. 6. A wooden Uniate church, dating back to the '2nd half of the 19th century, transferred from Pogorzelec to Giiby upon the permission of conservators have also been subjected to major alterations. Note: Until 1947 U nia te churches at Załęże (f. Załuże), Lutowiska, Lipie, Bystre, Paniszczow and Roztoki Dolne belonged to the Catholic Eastern Church. The temple a t Pogorzelec was a church of Old Believers until its transfer.
