【 摘 要 】

This paper presents selected issues concerning sacred architecture in the landscape of the modern city (exemplified by Kielce). The author's research interest is focused on historical and modern buildings of sacred architecture from the Kielce area. This city has a complex architectural structure that has been frequently modified for centuries. Buildings of sacred architecture played a crucial role in shaping and defining the language of spatial forms. Once towering over the surroundings, historical sacred forms are dominant elements of the urban fabric on a considerably smaller scale today. They continue to be recognisable objects for a given place and strongly formulate and define urban public spaces. They constitute valuable substance and cultural heritage in the space of the modern city. Among buildings erected a relatively short time ago, we can also notice works that have become part of social awareness and are unequivocally identified with the city. They become a symbol of the place and characteristic points of reference in the city.
