Disappearing monuments in the Lublin region on the example of a manor and park complex in Sobianowice. Part I

Abstract

The subject of the manuscript is an attempt to draw attention to the problem of abandoned and disappearing historic buildings under legal conservation protection located in the south-eastern part of Poland. The research looked for the reasons for this state of affairs and proposed
solutions to prevent such situations. Specific revalorization activities were also proposed for the manor and park complex in Sobianowice. The following analyses: the existing condition, historical, communication, formal and legal, were developed, and a detailed dendrological inventory was made for the park in Sobianowice. Based on the research conducted, guidelines for further treatment of the manor house and the surrounding park were developed. Restoration of a manor house is a process that aims to restore the historic building to its former glory and adapt it to contemporary needs and standards. Currently, however, the biggest problem is the lack of financial
resources for any security, revalorization or adaptation works. The restoration of the manor house is a long-term process and requires the cooperation of many specialists, including architects, conservators, engineers and cultural heritage experts. However, the effects of this process allow
us to preserve valuable cultural and historical heritage and transform the neglected facility into an attractive place for the local community and tourists.
