Abstract
This article addresses the issue of cultural values regarding the need to protect one of the housing estates in Zakopane – known as the Clerks’ Parcels. From the north-west the area is enclosed by Sabały St., from the west by Piłsudskiego St., from the south by Czecha St., and on the east side it borders on the Faluszowy Brook. It was designed and shaped during the 1920s according to the project of the renowned architect, Karol Stryjeński. The Clerks’ Parcels area is not merely a defined, consciously shaped urban layout, but also culturally significant objects listed in the heritage register and entered in the district monument records. In the opinion of the authors of this article, the area deserves to be under a statutory form of protection, namely listed in the immovable monument register of the Lesser Poland Voivodeship, which would safeguard that space against degradation and cultural annihilation.
