Abstract

The aim of the article is to compare the state of preservation and landscape and cultural values of cemeteries located in four communes of the Kłodzko district in the south-western part of Poland, in the province of Lower Silesia. For the purposes of the article, the analysis of the history of the village was carried out and the demographics, development of the village, construction of churches and cemeteries were described. Chamber research was based on a library query and included an analysis of literature, the resources of iconographic and cartographic collections were also used in the studies. The article compares changes in the arrangement, architecture and landscape of the cemeteries in the Kłodzko district in the villages of Sokolec, Pasterka, Orłowiec and Kamieńczyk. It has been noted that currently church cemeteries, which are relics of the past, are slowly and systematically destroyed and over time their spatial arrangement is blurred, gates, fences, tombstones are destroyed, sometimes with the entire burial field and small architecture.
