Last year witnessed the appearance of two publications promoting our cultural heritage and addressed predominantly to the residents of Warsaw and visitors to the capital. The books in question include “Dziedzictwo zielony świat Ursynowa” (The Legacy of the Green World of Ursynów) by Aleksander Mann and “Bielany. Przewodnik historyczno-sentymentalny” (Bielany. A Historical-Sentimental Guidebook) by Jarosław Zieliński. The joint feature shared by the two guides, representing a totally different character and content, consists of a collection of reminiscences by the residents of the titular districts of Warsaw. Family souvenir photographs or reflections pertaining not only to the past but also to the present grant the two books a sentimental hue. “Dziedzictwo zielony świat Ursynowa” is a popular scientific publication which commemorates old Ursynów and adjoining terrains (spanning from Potok Służewiecki to Las Kabacki, and encompassing lots in Puławska Street as well as Grabów, Krasnowola and Pyry) by assuming the form of a portfolio of drawings accompanied by lively commentaries. “Bielany. Przewodnik historyczno-sentymentalny is the outcome of a competition for a guidebook organised in 1999 by the Department of Culture of the then Warsaw-Bielany commune, and contains verified and collected competition entries, suitably supplemented with missing accounts and descriptions of some of the regions of the district. This publication combines the features of a guidebook to the history of Bielany, a classical tourist guide, an information brochure, and a collection of recollections and essays. Both titles were issued thanks to the efforts and financial support of former commune boards; the guidebook dealing with Ursynów was additionally endorsed by the Warsaw Archdiocese, Rev. Tadeusz Wojdat, the local parish priest, and the residents themselves.

The building of the former Hipolit Wawelberg Bank, designed by Józef Pius Dziekoƒski, is situated in 6 Fredry Street, in the very centre of Warsaw. In 1975 it was listed in the register of historical monuments (no. 878). The object was erected in 1896 and up to the repairs and conservation conducted in 1997 it survived in a rather good technical state, albeit not evidenced by its outer appearance. The front elevation, devoid of plaster and architectural detail (removed in the 1960s), was by no means the highlight of the building and outright discouraged entering it. Meanwhile, the interior concealed an interesting and complicated spatial configuration, a variable level of storeys as well as extraordinarily rich and original outfitting: panelling, stucco, terracotta, window and door woodwork, technical facilities and strong-rooms. The building survived the second world war, but the successive institutions using it did not always respect the historical qualities of the object which they adapted to their own requirements. The solid of the building and its internal configuration were subjected to assorted changes. Despite divisions with partition walls or a thoughtlessly installed wiring system which damaged the stucco and the terra-cotta walls, the original appearance remained legible. The repair-modernisation and conservation conducted in 1995-1999 restored the former splendour of the building. Fortunately for the object and the conservators of historical monuments it not only regained its old appearance but also its original function: bank, residential and office. The programme- spatial conception of development and the subsequent technical project were devised by the architect Marek Wacławek. The range of the transformations, which could not be conducted at the price of a radical change of form and could not deprecate or reduce the value of the building, were outlined by the authors of this article. The prime principle of preserving the authentic historical substance had to be coordinated with the requirements and expectations of the investor and contemporary construction norms. The restoration of former excellence called for a complex co-operation of specialists representing assorted branches as well as mutual negotiations and compromises. The building of the former H. Wawelberg Bank is a positive example of the co-existence of modern contents with historical form. Sensible integration associated with professional execution produced an interesting whole, a source of prestige and distinction to the institutions housed therein (i. a. the Opera Holding Co., the Deloitte & Tou. Touch Co. and previously Citibank). The adaptation of the building is also an example quite different from the radical decisions recently popular in Warsaw, i.e. of a preservation of an historical building and not its total dismantling followed by the retention of the façade and designing a replica in accordance with contemporary norms.

The intention of the article is to present to readers the Palace of the President of the Republic of Poland with its garden. This ensemble is a well-known monument, valuable for the culture of our country. It is located on a Warsaw Scarp, embedded in the landscape of the downtown. Its rich history dates back to the seventeenth century and is associated with many personages, including Stanisław Koniecpolski and Michał Kazimierz II Radziwiłł. The palace and park complex represents a unique historical and natural value, which has been the reason for bringing it under protection. While the palace itself has been broadly described in the monograph by art historians Zbigniew Bania and Tadeusz Stefan Jaroszewski, the garden inextricably linked to it has not been a subject of extensive study and publications. Therefore, the authors of this paper, after having presented the history of the palace, analyse in more detail the shape and the design of the garden: from early baroque until present times. The primary difficulty they encounter is the modest and uncertain source base. Translated by Małgorzata Laskowska-Adamowicz

Aceremonial inauguration of an Internet project entitled Towns in Archival Documents, available on www.Polska.pl, took place in September this year in Bolimów. It is precisely this location, situated to the east of Łowicz, which inaugurated an Internet presentation of the history of more than ten historical towns in Poland. The www. pages contain 22 handwritten and cartographic documents made available by the State Archives thanks to the NASK Scientific and Academic Computer Network as well as extracted from sources in public and private collections for the purpose of recalling the former splendour and municipal traditions of Bolimów. The intention of the authors was to render possible access to archival sources, and in this way to popularise the history of Poland by using new media. In the near future, the history of other small towns and localities: Bochnia, Brzozów, Chrzanów, Czerwińsk, Kąty, Latowicz, Leżajsk, Łomża, Przeworsk, Skawina, Szreńsk, Warta, Wasilków, Wiśnicz and Zabłudów, will be presented in a similar manner and saved from oblivion. The open form of the presentation made it possible to expand the material by means of assorted souvenirs associated with the place of residence, such as family photographs or reminiscences, in order to encourage a more indepth acquaintance with local history and mould the feeling of local identity. The meeting which inaugurated the project was attended by about 150 invited guests, who were welcomed by Andrzej Jagura, the head of the commune of Bolimów. Brief speeches were given by Doc. Dr. hab. Daria Nałęcz, the Head Director of the State Archives, and Dr. Maciej Kozłowski, Director of the NASK Scientific and Academic Computer Network. The premises of the project were presented by Hubert Wajs, Director of the Main Archive of Old Acts in Warsaw, Marek Marzec, head of www.Polska.pl. Alojzy Orszulik, the bishop of the diocese of Łowicz, Prof. Dr. hab. Michał Kleiber, the Minister of Telecommunication, Ryszard Mikliński, Vice-Minister of Culture, and Senator Grażyna Staniszewska shared their observations with the other participants of the presentation. The meeting ended with a brief discussion which expressed appreciation for the organisers’ initiative and stressed the necessity of its further continuation and development. The presentation closed with artistic performances given by the local school children and students and an Old Polish reception.

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.
