Register of immovable monuments

A resource containing data on immovable monuments from the territory of the Republic of Poland entered in the register of monuments created on the basis of decisions, regulations and other official information sent to the NID (previously ODZ, KOBiDZ) received from provincial conservators of monuments, after the administrative proceedings concerning the facility were completed. Due to the long time distance from the issue of the first provisions regulating the legal protection of monuments (Decree of the Regency Council on the care of monuments of art and culture, Journal of Laws 1918 No. 16 item. 36) and the evolution of these provisions in subsequent years (Regulation of the President of the Republic with Legislative Decree of 6 March 1928 on the care of monuments, Act of 15 February 1962 on the protection of cultural goods and museums, the Act of 23 July 2003 on the protection of monuments and the care of monuments, as well as subsequent amendments and implementing acts) the resource is heterogeneous — it reflects the then rules of keeping the register of monuments, the perception of historic buildings and changes resulting from administrative and systemic reforms. The collection of documents held by the NID is not complete. Therefore, there may be some discrepancies between the published NID data list and the actual state. The data on the list of objects, location and border coverage were mapped on the basis of the documents in possession of the building entering the monuments register, as well as subsequent decisions and decisions submitted by the voivodship authorities for the protection of monuments. In the absence of sufficient location information in the documents, the NID’s registration documentation (www.nid.pl) and other work materials were used. Information that was not possible to obtain on the basis of decisions/judgments comes from other sources, e.g. records and NID materials and is intended to reflect the current knowledge of the monuments as far as possible.
