The south-western corner o f the Polish Republic, which today forms part o f mainly the Jelenia Gora and Zielona Gora voivodeships and which historically constitutes socalled Upper Lusatia (to the river Kwisa) has preserved rather numerous examples o f columnar architecture, commonly known as Lusatian. These are, as a rule, ground floor or tw o -flo o r objects; only in rare cases, do they have two or more storeys. They are covered by sloping, usually tw o hipped end roofs, with decorative architectonic gables. The hipped roof ends - today predominantly ceramic (tiles) — used be covered by wooden shingles, stone slate and even straw or rush thatch. The most characteristic constructionarchitectonic feature o f those buildings was supporting the attic (or upper storeys) and the roof upon free standing outer carrying pillars, placed away from the walls (and frequently profiled and decorated), as well as joining parts made o f wood. A traditional supplementation o f these two structures is, as a rule, the half-timber wall with a skeleton (spandrel beam) construction. The extant buildings are becoming damaged, and subjected to progressing technical decapitalization; they are collapsing or being pulled down. The preparation o f a complete measurement and photographic inventory o f objects heretofore not registered in this manner appears to be indispensable. It also seems worthwhile to create a regional Skansen — an Upper Lusatian ethnographic park, situated, for example, in the region o f Bogatynia.
