The man’s natural environment can in no way be regarded as th a t composed solely of such factors or, components as the realm of plants, the wildlife, the surrounding atmosphere or natural resources. During the long period of human civilization certain natural assets were subjected to far-reaching transformations whereas a number of others were created as a result of the man’s cultural and organizing activities. Small doubt then that all such objects as, for instance, the castles, old manors, water or wind mills, the churches and even the whole towns being the relics of the past civilizational periods and at the same time of permanently advancing culture of the peoples should be preserved as important components of „cultural” landscape and of „natural” life of a modern society. A combined and complex protection of both natural and „cultural” environment seems much more effective and desirable means in that specific situation where the heavy industry, the technological „achievements”, production processes and the high traffic or transportation densities produce a real danger for the nature or individual, his health and the society’s cultural heritage. In his present publication the author, a lawyer and expert in environmental development deals with some problems of preservation and restoration of the immobile historical monuments as well as their use in the service of society taking into account their historical values and some provisions of the Cultural Property Protection and Museums Law of 1962. He comes to conclusion that the all kinds of practical use of the immobile historical monuments which are made with the exclusion of their cultural values are inadmissible and therefore such a practice should at once be prohibited.
