Abstract

The cultural heritage of the former Pomeranian Duchy currently extends over the area of the Polish West Pomeranian Voivodeship and the German federal state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Among many architectural objects erected in the times of the duchy’s functioning a large part of this historical heritage has been destroyed, several works have survived to our times.
The aim of the article is to define and characterize the architectural heritage resources from the Griffin dynasty, which are in the form of an historical ruin.
Among the cultural heritage of the duchy, the following groups of objects were separated:
- ruins of military architecture,
- ruins of residential architecture,
- ruins of sacred architecture.
The article presents examples of development, use and display of architectural monuments within individual groups, focusing in particular on current activities undertaken in this area.
The researched resource of historical ruins allowed us to gather contemporary experiences in the field of Polish and German heritage protection, which were used to draft the final conclusions referring to the document „Rules for the protection of historical ruins” adopted at the conference in Ciechanowiec on 22nd-24th October 2009.
