Architectonic studies on castle cellars were carried out from 1949 to 1971. That period can be divided into 3 stages: 1949—1952 — "Research Work on Warsaw Castle” , 1960— 1962 — architectonic studies made by the Ateliers for the Conservation of Cultural Property and 1971 — research archaeologic and architectonic work. At present, several years after the completion of the studies and of the reconstruction of the castle, it is possible to draw the main conclusions. First and foremost, one should mention the elaboration of the method fo r fie ld architectonic studies. The preserved ce lla r waljs of the castle, dating from several different ages, provided an excellent research field. A t the same time a jo in t cooperation of archeologists and architects was in itia te d during the work in the castle. A frequent resumption of the same subject over the span of more than twenty years — along with the stabilization of the method — mode it possible to rectify some of working theses and also to single out the problems to be solved. One of them was the discovery and location of the o ldest bricked building of the Castle of the Mazovian Princes. The building was erected when town’s bricked fo rtifications and the Castle got join e d in the second half of the 14th century. Once the Castle was put up the moat became unnecessary. The moat performed its role when there existed a prince's stronghold where a bricked tower fo r living in was b u ilt up in the 1st half of the 14th century, the so-called Grodzka Tower. The next achievement was the complexity of the studies, in which historians, archaeologists and architects participated. Until the early f if ties such studies were carried out only by archaeologists and historians. The site of the castle provided a good ground fo r the fo rmation of a new model of cooperation that should become obligatory universally in architectural studies: the historian examines source materials, socio-economic relations and the economic background; the archaeologist investigates and interprets the material history of the site and inaccessible and unknown elements th a t are found underground. The architect studies the material substance of the structure found both underground and overground and he determines a fu ll chronology of individual architectural details. The art historian examines the decor of the structure, fo/rn and substance. A fu ll exchange of information and a common interpretation of the phenomena both in the field and "c a b in e t" examinations make it possible to learn architecture and its history an a given site.
