The old forest complex of Rzepiszew (76.81 ha of land) is located in the east part of Szadek commune. It is surrounded by arable fields and meadows. At present it is a timber forest, but forest management is based on ecological rules. 260 Vascular plant species forming 55 families have been found in this area during field research which was carried out in years 2006-2010. The identified species represent different types of growth (= life forms in Raunkiaer's terminology) Hemicryp- tophytes have been found to dominate. The flora contains plants from various ecological groups classed according to light conditions, moisture of soil, soil acidity and soil trophy. Most of them are stenotopic plants - they have a limited (narrow) ecological amplitude. The true forest species are the most valuable components of flora. Seven among them are protected by law.

Researchers have acknowledged that the oldest fortress on the site of the present-day castle was built during the third quarter of the thirteenth century and became known as “Wronin”. The castle named “Czorsztyn”, expanded and redesigned upon numerous occasions starting with the fourteenth century, played the part of a custom house, the seat of the office of a starosta not associated with the castletown, and a royal residence located next to an important route to Hungary. In 1629-1643 starosta Jan Baranowski, the count of Jastrzębiec, basically redesigned the object. The downfall of the castle began with its devastation in 1734-1735, and final collapse was caused by a fire which broke out in 1790. From that time on, the castle remained a ruin. This was the state in which it was discovered by nineteenth-century tourists and artists, becoming part of the Polish Romantic tradition. Attempts at preserving the ruins were made already during the nineteenth century and the first half of the twentieth century by the owners of the castle, members of the Drohojowski family. A natural reserve was created in 1921 after rare (endemic) species of plants were found amidst the ruins. During the 1950s limited preservation work was conducted after the monument was taken over by the State Treasury. Changes in the surrounding environment caused by the construction of an artificial water reservoir made it necessary to embark upon wider conservation undertakings, realised since 1992 by the present-day administrator of the monument, i. e. the Pieniński National Park, according to projects by Piotr M. Stępień, an architect, and Dr. Stanisław Karczmarczyk, an engineer. The basic conservation premise accepted by all the variants and stages of the project is to preserve the characteristic silhouette of the ruins of Czorsztyn Castle in view of its above mentioned role played in Romantic tradition and connections with the protected landscape of the Pieniny Mts. The process of securing relics uncovered in the course of research and opening the ruins to visitors calls for the introduction of roofs, stairs and gangplanks within the object. From the viewpoint of construction, the basic method of protection proved to be the recreation of selected elements of the historical ceilings, arches, etc., supplemented by means of injections and roof bolting in the case of threatened fragments of the walls. The author lists the reasons and consequences of resorting to this particular method. Heretofore efforts have managed to maintain the accepted conservation premises. The correctness of the selected conservation trend is confirmed by the large numbers of visitors and their approval for the object. By using the example of Czorsztyn, the author analysed the conservation of historical ruins, claiming that the threats posed to historical ruins include the doctrine of non-intervention and unhampered fantasy. As a rule, a radically conceived principle of nonintervention signifies consent to the annihilation of the historical ruin in the near future. A similar threat is posed by reconstruction which enters into the domain of fantasy, unsupported by iconography or the outcome of architectural research. By restoring the utilitarian and technical value of the given object, such reconstruction destroys its historical merits, sometimes irreversibly. A wide field of professional solutions located between those two radical attitudes, makes it possible to preserve an object without losing any of its historical qualities.

First, Cyril Danielewski’s drama The Year 997 is mentioned here, and then the Hymn in honor of St. Wojciech. These works are an introduction to the poems of a little-known writer, Stefania Tuchołkowa, and her novel Goraj, who for the theme of St. Wojciech means the most here. Much space in the novel is devoted to the struggles of the faithful to the old gods with the new faith, and St. Wojciech turns out to be the winner here. When the opponents of the new faith are converted, the novel ends.
PL
Najpierw mówi się tutaj o dramacie Cyryla Danielewskiego Rok 997, a potem o Hymnie na cześć św. Wojciecha. Utwory te są wprowadzeniem do wierszy mało znanej pisarki, Stefanii Tuchołkowej, i jej powieści Goraj, która dla tematu o św. Wojciechu znaczy tu najwięcej. W powieści dużo miejsca poświęcono zmaganiom wiernych dawnym bogom z nową wiarą, a św. Wojciech okazuje się tu zwycięzcą. Gdy przeciwni nowej wierze się nawrócą, powieść się kończy.
