The article is a contribution to the debate on the effective protection and preservation of industrial structures and sites in the Old Polish Industrial Region (OPIR) that are of unique value and importance to the cultural heritage of Poland. The Kielce area has a long tradition of mining and metallurgy and can pride itself on numerous industrial heritage structures and sites. The historic production facilities represent all stages of development of iron and steel making from the Middle Ages to modern times. It is thus essential that they should be preserved and protected appropriately. The sites with complete well-preserved production lines, forging equipment, watermills, coal-powered blast furnaces, rolling mills and puddling mills form a unique historic landscape that could become a flagship attraction for the area, taking visitors through the history of metallurgy in Poland and Eur< >pe. The paper presents the history of the industrial structures and sites of the Old Polish Industrial Region, from their beginnings, through their glory days (operation and modernization) to their deterioration. It also suggests modern methods of conservation, including the establishment of eco-museums in the basins of the Kamienna, Czarna and Bobrza rivers. This would ensure that professional management, promotion and restoration/conservation services are provided not only to the existing museums of technology but also to a large number of historic structures remaining in ruin, for example, the Nietulisko Duże Rolling Mill, the Brody Reservoir Dam, the Bobrza Retaining Wall and Steelworks, and the blast furnaces at Kuzmaki and Samsonów. It is vital that whole areas of historic industrial sites should be conserved. The formation of these open-air museums would help to raise awareness of the uniqueness of the post-industrial heritage, promote the region as a tourist destination, and educate on science and technology by learning outdoors. translated by E.
