The conservation work carried out in the parish church at Haczów in 1959 and 1970—1975 gave the grounds to ascertain that its interior had been decorated with paintings, or whitewashed, fiv e times. The author deals with the respective paintings r e vealed in the course of the inevstigations. The oldest layer dates from, the m id-l5 th century. Traces have been preserved o f its red paint and Gothic letters. The second layer, from 1494, covered the whole surface o f the walls and ceiling. One o f its remnants is the large scene of Crucifixion, with a panorama of Jesuralem in the background. In 1789 that polychromy was whitened what is confirmed by a chronicler’s record so far misinterpreted as a mention about a new painting. The fact of the Gothic polychromy having been whitewashed is also confirmed by a stratigraphie analysis o f the poly chromy. Another layer of whitewash was applied in the early 19th century, and in its first half the interior of the church was altered and decorated again this time, with paintings representing motives of visionary architecture. In the course o f conservator’s research existence has been ascertained of two layers of paintings, similar as regarded their technological aspect. Hence the resultant conclusion about a change of the artist’s concept or a correction made by him. Moreover, in the church concerned there were also found eleven loose boards with Gothic polychromy also covered with two layers of whitewash what has confirmed the earlier conclusion regarding the preserved wall paintings. In the future the boards will be matched with the paintings preserved on the ceiling of the parish church at Haczów.

The subject of considerations by the author is formed by the lasting several years conservation of the woodconstructed parish church at Haczów, Brzozów district, Rzeszów Voivodship. This late-Gothic edifice belonging to architectural monuments of „О” group and dating as far back as to the mid-fifteenth century is considered to be one of the most valuable objects of wood-built architecture in this country. In 1958—68 the church was subjected to conservation which was carried out by the carpenters’ teams sent by the Museum of Folk Building Art, Sanok. From 1969 forward the conservation that has been ordered by the Voivodship Conservator in Rzeszów is being carried out by the Lublin Branch of the state-owned company known as Ateliers for Conservation of Cultural Property, Jarosław Division. While analysing the main and most urgent needs of the object under conservation the author proposes that the most recent achievements be applied from the field of wood preservation and that the full design documentation be based on that prepared by conservators. As a point of utmost importance must be regarded the measures aimed at inhibiting the decay processes in wood exposed to weather and in consequence to destructive action of fungi and insects. Another important point consists in the need to have an appropriate historical, descriptive and photographic documentation which should be prepared prior to starting any conservating treatments, during their course and on their completion. Only such an exhaustive documentation can furnish a guarantee that the restoration will be carried out in a proper way. The lack of such documentation for the church in question caused that some errors occurred in works already done. To have preserved this specimen of the wood-constructed sacred building it is — according to the author’s suggestions — inevitable to extend the range and the kind of works as well as to accelerate their course, at the same time heightening the quality level of ex e cution. Taking into account the above requirements it seems also necessary to organize a special laboratory that would be entrusted with working out of methods of application of chemicals in conservation and at the same time with supervision over the works carried out. It is the author’s opinion that it is already the highest time to have solved the problem of the so called „timber bank” from which the required quantities of the well-seasoned, say during the three-year period, timber would be available to meet the needs of conservation.
