Ameeting of experts dealing with the UNESCO World Heritage, attended by 37 participants from 13 countries, was held in Wroclaw on 14-15 September 2007. The session was organised by the National Heritage Board of Poland in the name of the UNESCO World Heritage Centre and the Minister of Culture and National Heritage. The states-signatories of the UNESCO convention on the protection of the world cultural and natural heritage are obligated to present reports on the realisation of the convention’s resolutions. The first series of the European Regular Report was conducted in 2003-2006. The Wroclaw conference was the first meeting of the representatives of Central and East European countries, dedicated to continuing undertakings stemming from the Regular Report. Subsequently, it became a forum for an exchange of experiences and joint conclusions. In view of the fact that the Report encompasses the earliest entries on the UNESCO World Heritage List, the participants of the meeting asserted the necessity of supplements which, in the first stage, are to explain the limits of the included site and its protective sphere and then discuss the criteria according to which it had been originally placed on the List. Subsequent tasks entail defining the exceptional merits of a given site. The meeting also considered plans for a system of administering the world heritage sites. The participants stressed unanimously that a suitable pronouncement of the significance of a site and its exceptional value forms a basis for effective administration. The conference included a tour of the Centennial Hall in Wrocław, together with the adjoining exposition area – the most recent Polsh site to be included onto the UNESCO World Heritage List.

The Wola Museum in Warsaw featured an exhibition about the history of Warsaw gardeners (from the nineteenth century to the twenty first century), thus embarking upon motifs rarely encountered in museum shows. Family souvenirs and material documenting the activity of gardening firms, amassed by the Museum, illustrate Warsaw traditions. The display is composed of exhibits showing the history of particular families, their involvement in professional and social work, as well as the significance of numerous organisations in propagating gardening knowledge.

The villa-park premise known as the Karolin-Marianów Villa is located in Wiązowno near Warsaw. On land purchased in about 1880 Karol Jan Szlenkier and his wife, Maria Szlenkier, born Grosser, built their summer suburban residence and laid out a park designed by Walerian Kronenberg, an acclaimed garden specialist. From the name of the owner the estate became known as the Karolin Dacha, and later – as the Karolin-Marianów Villa. Its successive owners – members of the Chrzanowski families, heirs of the Szlenkiers – retained this name which only recently has been replaced by the Chrzanowski Manor; this new version has been created artificially by ignoring archival material. The villa was designed in the spirit of the Italian Renaissance, and despite later changes it remains the main accent of the whole premise. Its noble proportions have been preserved, and although it has been subjected to certain modifications the building still presents harmonious elevations unencumbered with excessive decorations. The Karolin Marianów Villa premise has retained the majority of the original and distinctive elements of its spatial composition. The premise – symbol and testimony of the generations once inhabiting it as the former summer residence of a renowned and much valued family of Warsaw industrialists and members of the Chrzanowski family – worthy contributors to Polish culture and medicine, deserves to be guaranteed conservation protection under its historical name of the Karolin-Marianów Villa.
