Summary

Zamość's wooden heritage, particularly along Świętego Piątka St., faces significant deterioration due to private ownership neglect, harsh weather conditions, and lack of local government intervention. This study highlights the urgent need for preservation efforts to maintain the unique architectural and aesthetic qualities of these 20th-century structures, which are vital to Zamość's UNESCO World Heritage status. The research provides a historical context, identifies distinguishing characteristics of the region's wooden architecture, and proposes solutions to revive its original beauty while engaging community attention. By analyzing stylistic traits, composition, and ornamentation, the study offers actionable strategies for conserving this vanishing landscape.
