We present to you another fascicle of jointly created periodical (in the current six-monthly form) – a collective work, which can be, without exaggeration, described as: joint effort. If I were to title it separately, the title would be: Between tangible and intangible heritage – the idea of comprehensive protection of the world’s cultural and natural heritage. It sounds elevated, maybe even pompous, however – as we know well – in the global perspective, there are diverse situations, a current example might be the devastated Aleppo, which is, after all, not the only site of crime against cultural heritage. The threads of intangible heritage, in this volume, both from the perspective of up-to-date UNESCO documents and conventions, and from the perspective of “archaeology of notions” and research on intangible heritage of the Polish rural areas, as well as the narratives of collective memory, constitute the first part of the volume. The second part, on the other hand, for a kind of a counterweight, is devoted only to tangible heritage, focusing on the issues of wooden architecture, and strictly speaking, on wooden sacral construction, on both sides of the Polish-Ukrainian border in which we see a tremendous potential for further common research and academic cooperation. The second part of the volume is concluded by an interesting article devoted to framework architecture of Uhlans’ barracks in Toruń. In the third, final part, we present articles of diverse subject matter, a considerable substantive significance, discussing, among others, Polish successes related to entries on the UNESCO’s World Heritage List to which the National Heritage Board of Poland contributed greatly, but also presenting hazards concerning possible further entries, which should not be forgotten, just like we should not forget about people of exceptional merits, whose profiles we recall. Let us return, however, to our reality and our questions about intangible heritage. What is it for an ordinary inhabitant of the country between the Odra River and the Bug River, how does our ordinary compatriot understand them and does he or she have keys to it, or has someone hidden it, to use a euphemism..? It seems there is a long march ahead of us. If today someone asked me about what I believe to be the most important throughout our entire spectrum of the intangible heritage, I would certainly reply: my homeland and my faith. And if I was asked what I would most gladly enter to the intangible heritage list, I would say: all Polish “żurawiejka” poems, even though they might be obscene, including my favourite, which I would not dare to quote. Not so long ago, on the occasion of a full, six-hundredth anniversary of concluding the Horodło Union, Kazimierz Wóycicki from the Eastern Europe Study Centre of the Warsaw University wrote: „We live in the 21st century, and we still think in categories of the 19th century. This happens because great narrations determining the sense of modern nations were created exactly in the 19th century, when the most important thing was defending identity against external impacts. Historiography of remembrance, dealing with social representations of the past, enables gaining a distance to those tales shaped in the 19th century, through a dialogue of narratives” and, at the same time, enables expansion of the methodological scope of research on phenomena related to intangible heritage. Dear Sirs and Madams, to conclude, I would like to give my regards to the entire editorial team, who for a few recent years, working with devotion, perfection and energy, have done truly a lot in the Kraków office – it can be said without a shade of exaggeration that they re-formatted and modernized the way of thinking about our periodical. I would like to thank wholeheartedly, not only on my own behalf, the editor Ms. Olga Dyba, the editorial secretary – Mr. Andrzej Siwek and the editor Mr. Tomasz Woźniak. Dear friends – you are real professionals, and a hard act to follow... Yours respectfully Jacek Serafinowicz Editor-in-Chief

This year’s second, and at the same time last issue of “Ochrona Zabytków” is to some extent extraordinary, due to an important anniversary. When, in early spring this year, I published an appeal directed to environments close to the heritage protection in all of its aspects, and containing a request to particularly mark in “Ochrona Zabytków” the hundredth anniversary of an outbreak of the World War I, I did not expect – truth be told – such a wide response. It turned out, meanwhile, that the memory of the Great War is still an inspiration for numerous specific studies, explorations of topics so far forgotten or insufficiently examined in due course, and also, obviously, reminders of anniversary nature. Fruit of the above-mentioned appeal turned out to be so abundant that it was impossible to print all of the sent and reviewed articles in this volume without prejudice to a sacred principle of diversity of topics. Thus, the charm of Wyniosła wieża [Majestic tower] and dramatic tension of Sierpniowe salwy [August bursts of fire] will accompany us in “Ochrona Zabytków” also in 2015. Although answered Bard’s prayers for Wojna Ludów became a macabre and barbaric bloodbath and for humankind it was not a memento for long, to Poles – inter alia – it finally brought freedom, and a legionnaire act became a legend. Could that be different? Mentioning well-known Vilnius artists, in June 1939, in the second issue of the “Wilno” quarterly, Helena Römer, daughter of the brilliant painter, caricaturist and collector, recalled the person of Franciszek Jurjewicz – an emigrant from the tsarist times known as Parisian. Jurjewicz entered the Legions in 1914 being... 73 years old! Let us then repeat: could that be different? Coming back to the table of contents, I must admit that from among important and interesting articles printed in this issue I am delighted with an article entitled Heritance Tea Factory – a hotel in an authentic tea factory – revitalisation in harmony with the monument. Of course, I do not recommend reading the volume from the end, because after all it is an oddity, but living “in an authentic tea factory” is a very well invented treatment – it gives joy, introduces the atmosphere of a fairy-tale, moves to the reality and climates of Sri Lanka, showing culture and skills of the architect worthy of utmost respect. This article in its entirety smells like the world’s best Ceylon tea and happily takes us to realities completely different from the war ones. It leads us straight to Christmas. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Jacek Serafinowicz Editor-in-Chief

Dear Honourable Readers, dear Authors, priceless Reviewers whose extensive knowledge makes editing and publishing of “Ochrona Zabytków” possible! Tempus fugit… It would seem that not long ago we handed over the second volume of Anno Domini 2014, along with Christmas wishes, to our Readers. As I am writing the introduction to the second volume of Anno Domini 2015, it is hard for me to believe that another year goes by, that the Advent is already there and Christmas is around the bend. Therefore, it is time to start thinking about new fascicules, new important and interesting topics and, to be honest, it is not that easy. In our editorial room, we are currently observing a certain, hopefully temporary, decline in the willingness to write about a broadly understood cultural heritage, about interesting and important conservation work carried out at universities and research centres. Perhaps, the situation I am talking about is related to the need to publish results of research and conservation work at higher education institutions, their bulletins and studies. In any case, the Noble Matron the “Ochrona Zabytków” still remains, certainly deserves attention, being (perhaps mutatis mutandis) the oldest Polish scientific periodical dealing with the protection of heritage in all of its dimensions, which can be well exemplified, in my opinion, by another fascicule presented to you, with a number 2/2015, containing 10 sections providing diversified and rich subject matter, starting from architectural research, through iconographic, technical and technological issues in conservation, to legal and economic issues and those related to UNESCO World Heritage. This volume is accompanied by reviews of publications as well as a report concerning a legal seminar. The volume is crowned by a remembrance of Michał Gradowski – a notable researcher and expert in goldsmith’s craft, awarded with a Gloria Artis medal. Dear Readers, before I turn to Christmas wishes, let me remind you about a curious, albeit little known, fact concerning (to a certain extent) the National Heritage Board of Poland – abbreviated as NID. It turns out that during World War II this abbreviation was used by a (British) Navy Intelligence Division. After all, this is quite a nice affinity. It is linked to a further story including Krystyna Skarbek, Ian Fleming, James Bond, Vesper Lynd and the entire Casino Royale (1953). In this way we are lightly and merrily entering the Christmas atmosphere. Let us all be of good cheer – Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Jacek Serafinowicz Editor-in-Chief

Ladies and Gentlemen, dear Readers, excellent Reviewers and Authors of the articles, in a word – dear Friends of “Ochrona Zabytków”! I have a particularly good news for you: a ground-breaking fascicle of our semi-annual periodical is being published. It is ground-breaking since it is in a bilingual version – in Polish and English. It is indeed a wonderful present for the New Year. A present which we have dreamt of for a very long time, thus it should be noted that, however, after a long wait, it is finally the time when dreams come true. Undoubtedly, there will be more work for editors but the benefit of this change is obvious: the group of our readers will substantially increase which, in turn, should result in a bigger interest on the part of potential authors of articles, and this may contribute to the enrichment of the subject area and improve the level of the periodical. Ladies and Gentlemen, as in the previous fascicles, we were trying to add variety also to this one by introducing diverse topics the list of which, as always, we printed at the beginning of the volume. As it happens that the second annual volume of “Ochrona Zabytków” is released during the Christmas and New Year period, I wish to sincerely thank, on behalf of the editorial team, all the excellent people who wanted to share their work, thought and the joy of creation with us and to wish them a lot of success in the New Year of 2017 which, undoubtedly, will result in further interesting and important articles that we will publish in our periodical with a great pleasure and satisfaction. Jacek Serafinowicz Editor-in-chief

Distinguished Ladies and Gentlemen, Dear Readers, Authors and Reliable Friends of “Ochrona Zabytków”! It is hard to believe that it is not a dream, but the actual reality – here we are in the seventieth year of publishing our review. It is therefore a perfect excuse for memories, and especially reminders. The old volumes, smaller tomes and fat fascicules lie in front of me, and the memories of people and things stored inside them. Thus I reach for them, just some of them, pro memoriam, remembering the consecutive editors-in-chief. They were undoubtedly outstanding persons, beginning with Józef Dutkiewicz, through Wojciech Fijałkowski and Bożena Wierzbicka. It is really difficult to list them all. At the end of the sad nineteen sixties, the contributors to “Ochrona Zabytków” included: Stanisław Lorentz, Wojciech Kalinowski, Kazimierz Malinowski, Bohdan Marconi, Adam Miłobędzki, Jerzy Szablowski, Jan Zachwatowicz and Janusz Bogdanowski as well as Michał Gradowski, Maria Lebiedzka, Lech Krzyżanowski, Ryszard Brykowski, Tadeusz Chrzanowski, Aleksandra Żaryn and Marian Paździor. Knowing the reality of those times, one can imagine what a copy of OZ looked like. It was not beautiful, but it was at least wise and interesting, and that was what counted. I have in front of me volume number three of “Ochrona Zabytków” published in 1967, and in it, among other things, the following articles: The Council for the Protection of Monuments of Struggle and Martyrdom activities in the years 1961-66; Reconstruction of the former Primate’s Palace in Warsaw; The method of microscopic polished section analysis in researching ceramic monuments; Vacuum table – heated at the Conservation faculty of the Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow; National Conservation Conference in Radziejowice; Conference on the preservation of the engraved floor of the Romanesque collegiate church in Wiślica. I am quoting this brief summary of the contents of the 1967 volume, so as to remind ourselves how it really was. Years passed. In the nineteen seventies, and especially in the second half of the decade, came the revival, and with it, “Ochrona Zabytków” started to grow until it slowly reached its seventieth birthday, that is, the seventieth year of publication, the first volume of which you are just holding in your hands. Ladies and Gentlemen, I am convinced that this seventieth birthday is worth at least a glass of champagne, maybe even two glasses, for what is behind us and for what is still unknown... Y ours most faithfully, Jacek Serafinowicz Editor-in-chief

We are proud to present you another volume of the semi-annually published by the National Heritage Board of Poland, identified with the number 1/2015. As it was announced in the introduction to the previous fascicle, the first part of this volume is a continuation of the topics connected with the memory of the Great War, the outbreak of which was described in simple words by Jaroslav Hašek: “And somewhere, from the dark depths of centuries, the truth approached Europe that tomorrow would thwart the plans of the present”. In his Sztafeta, the invaluable Melchior Wańkowicz summed up roughly the material losses which affected the territory of Poland directly. Years later, Zofia Starowieyska-Morstinowa, in her memoirs, wonderfully written and published in 1962, reminded Wańkowicz’s calculations which show directly that ”one million eighty-four thousand buildings, 56% of the prewar railway rolling stock, 63% of railway stations, 390 big and 219 small bridges were destroyed, the cultivation of four and a half million hectares of farmland was given up, three million people were displaced, 130 million meters of wood were taken away without any compensation. In Łódź, 1300 kilometers of leather strap belt was torn out of machines, one hundred tons of copper parts was torn out of the most valuable machines, 100,000 motors, engines and machine tools were seized”. Above all, however, millions of innocent people were crippled or killed. Thus, it is not surprising that, in the first part of this volume, we will find threads concerning the rebuilding of the country after the war, as well as immanent funerary threads, which now constitute the common heritage of the hecatomb of at least several nations of the generation of our grandmothers and grandfathers. In the following parts of this volume, we are presenting stricte conservatory and research issues, at the same time not ignoring the topics related to iconography. A unique supplement to the volume is an overview of the book by Professor Bogumiła Rouba entitled Pielęgnacja świątyni i innych zabytków. Książka nie tylko dla księży (Care of the churches and other monuments. A book not only for priests). A good addition to that manual is a very interesting announcement devoted to the equipment for the safe protecting the icon of the Black Madonna of Częstochowa. This volume of “Ochrona Zabytków” began to be prepared in winter. Now, at the beginning of the summer, it is time for wishing you carefree and warm holidays, abounding with good experiences. Yours faithfully Jacek Serafinowicz Editor-in-Chief
