This review of the works of one of the most outstanding Polish architects concerns undertakings which the contemporary comprehension of the term does not always classify as conservation. The concept itself conceals different varieties of intervention into historical substance whose intention was not so much conservation as the restoration or complete transformation of the object. The letter usually was the outcome of the need for extensive expansion which frequently caused irreversible destruction of the original building. The least harmful and traditionally sanctioned was the addition of assorted annexes or chapels to the solid of the existing church. Each of those modes occurs in the projects by Dziekoński which offer a general acquaintanceship with the workshop and methodological approach to sacral architecture at turn of the nineteenth century.

The present article discusses the architectural contest for the design of the Praga parish church in Warsaw, announced in 1886. The author aims to establish whether this event had any significant impact on the development of Polish architecture and its theoretical principles. He reviews the reasons for its importance and attempts to establish whether it constitutes suitable material for more thorough studies, the results of which would merit a prominent place in the historiography of 19th century architecture in Poland. The critical interpretation presented in this article is based primarily on texts published in Przegląd Techniczny, which discuss the successive stages of the contest, as well as selected press articles and essays written in direct connection to this enterprise. The author analyses texts by Karol Matuszewski, Franciszek Ksawery Martynowski, Władysław Łuszczkiewicz and Józef Pius Dziekoński, which are crucial for understanding the complex nature of the issue of the contest. The analysis leads to the conclusion that it was not the ultimate form of the church, but rather the combination of emotions, hopes, interests and controversies provoked by the announcement of the contest and the phrasing of its requirements that determined the crucial role of this event in the history of Polish architecture in the latter part of the 19th century.
