Apresentation entitled “The Architecture of Renaissance Manor Houses in Lower Silesia” was opened to the public on 18 February 2010 at the Museum of Architecture in Wrocław. The author of the scenario is Krzysztof Eysymontt, who for years worked in an inventory of this type of residential architecture; the curator is a representative of the Museum – Beata Fekecz-Tomaszewska, and the author of the graphic design is Renata Stahl-Wojtowicz. The presentation is composed predominantly of tables depicting more than sixty examples of this architectural form, specific for Silesia. Each contains a brief commentary concerning the presented building, its ground plan and suitable iconographic documentation. The display is supplemented with excellent archival photographs (mainly from the 1960s and 1970s) and an extensive selection of contemporary photographs, mainly taken by Krzysztof Eysymontt. The introduction to the presentation informs that during the sixteenth and seventeenth century there were more than 200 gentry manor houses in Silesia and Lusatia, erected in the course of 150 years. Over a hundred have survived up to our times. Unfortunately, no other fragment of the historical cultural and artistic heritage of Silesia has been subjected to such damage, degradation and oblivion. The manor houses were first the victims of barbaric devastation, conducted with an ideological underpinning during the socialist era and ”exploitation” by state owned farms, and then in the 1990s subjected to thoughtless and unsupervised ”commercialisation”. This is the reason why we should appreciate the current transformations in the approach to these historical monuments, which, reconstructed, meticulously conserved and taken care of, can function in our reality by fulfilling assorted functions without, at the same time, losing any of their historical qualities. Inventory photographic documentation of the early modern Silesian manor house offers invaluable iconographic and research material; the exposition has been enhanced by an addition of assorted museum exhibits, including elements of the outfitting and decoration of the Silesian residences: ceramic tile stoves, fragments of stucco, ceiling beams and fireplaces. All the exhibits originate from the Museum of Architecture in Wrocław. In turn, the reconstruction of the outfitting of the early modern Silesian manor, entitled ”The Outfitting of a Manorial Chamber in the Sixteenth-seventeenth Century”, includes exhibits from the Museum’s own collections, the National Museum in Wrocław and private collections, such as a table, a sideboard, a tapestry, glassware, pewter and zinc artefacts, and an oil portrait. The exceptional attraction of the display lies in the first public presentation of the outcome of research carried out in 2008-2009 in the manor in Ciechanowiec, which led to the discovery of extremely valuable polychromes depicting mythological scenes, lavish ornamental forms, inscriptions and a portrait frieze. The titular presentation should be regarded as both interesting and useful – slight errors in the descriptions of particular monuments do not diminish the value of the whole undertaking.

Artykuł opisuje fazy odbudowy i adaptacji zespołu pobernardyńskiego we Wrocławiu na Muzeum Architektury w latach 1956–1974, prowadzonej przez Edmunda Małachowicza. Przedstawiono krótki rys historyczny oraz skrócony opis zniszczeń budowli po II wojnie światowej. Odbudowa zespołu klasztornego trwała blisko 18 lat. Z całego tego okresu wyodrębniono trzy fazy powstawania kompleksu. Dla każdej z nich wykazano związki z obowiązującymi wówczas tendencjami w polskiej praktyce konserwatorskiej oraz wskazano szczególnie interesujące rozwiązania projektowe. Opis każdego z etapów projektu wykonano na podstawie niepublikowanej dotąd dokumentacji archiwalnej.

The article describes the phases of reconstruction and adaptation of the Bernardine monastery in Wrocław to the Museum of Architecture in the years 1956–1974 by Edmund Małachowicz. The paper presents a brief history of the creation of structures and a brief description of the destruction of buildings after World War II. Rebuilding of the monastery was carried out for nearly 18 years. In all of this period three phases of coming into existence of the complex were isolated. For each of these connection with current trends in the Polish conservation practice have been demonstrated and particularly interesting design solutions have been indicated. The description of each stage of the project was based on previously unpublished archival documentation.
