Recently, publications about old resorts and their architecture are becoming increasingly numerous. At the same time, resorts are turning into sites of a growing construction movement, which leads to the destruction of valuable monuments and the violation of spatial complexes. Knowledge about resort architecture had developed only relatively recently, and thus remains incomplete. The author perceives various gaps as regards typology, terminology and conservation doctrine. The latter encompass methods of dealing with particular buildings, and pertain to the protection of the cultural landscape. This fact is even more important considering that the resorts, as a rule, were created from about the mid-nineteenth century, and for a long time played the role of the “salons” of the Polish intelligentsia; during the summer season, they frequently witnessed assorted intellectual and patriotic initiatives, due to the weaker surveillance of the partitioning authorities and easier foreign contacts. The author presents various proposals concerning forms of the protection of resort towns, drawing attention to the rank of the historical role played in local tradition by certain buildings. These are essential arguments while making conservation decisions. In the cultural landscape of the resorts basic significance is attached to spatial aspects, different than in town or the countryside, a correspondence between the town planning configuration and the natural and composed vegetation as well as the flexibility of conservation undertakings.
