Not a stone left upon another?

Anna Żemła-Siesicka , Małgorzata Kłoskowicz

Abstract

The article reflects on the future of cultural heritage in the context of preserved megalithic structures – one of the oldest manifestations of human architectural activity. Instead of following the typical futurological question of what will the future look like, the author asks: What is worth preserving? She presents selected examples of such places in Poland, analysing their current condition, forms of protection, threats and possibilities for further existence. The article emphasises the importance of both legal and landscape conditions for the survival of these structures. The text shows how megaliths can become not only a testimony to the past but also an important element of the landscape of the future, provided that they are cared for responsibly and that a modern approach to their preservation and accessibility is adopted.
