In the past centuries, small towns in Podlaskie Voivodeship were dominated by wooden buildings. Nowadays, there are not many of them left. However, they can still be found in the centers of towns, including some market squares. These are often inconspicuous objects, mainly wooden houses. This paper discusses the issue of the significance of wooden buildings, especially houses, in maintaining and restoring historic values of market spaces in small towns of Podlaskie Voivodeship in the examples of Bielsk Podlaski and Kleszczele. The research determined the moment of rapid changes, during which most marketplace buildings lost their historic form. The existing condition was analyzed in terms of its historical values. Conclusions were formulated on the scope and type of restoration works for individual market squares. Finally, general conclusions from the research on the market squares of Bielsk Podlaski and Kleszczele were presented.

In recent years, the importance of architectural heritage as a factor in urban development and improving the quality of life of residents has increased in Poland. Protection and use of historic architecture should be in accordance with the principles of sustainable development. The potential for historical architecture can then be fully exploited. The above topics were discussed based on examples of small towns in the Podlaskie Voivodeship.

Miasta ulegają ciągłym przeobrażeniom. Nowy kształt urbanistyczny i nowa zabudowa wkraczają do dzielnic historycznych miast. Zachowana zabytkowa architektura przeważnie nie zawiera spektakularnych obiektów. Natomiast jako całość jest cennym świadkiem epoki. W miasteczkach nierzadko ważną rolę odgrywa zabudowa drewniana, chociaż przeważnie zachowana w szczątkowym stanie. Na Podlasiu duże nasycenie zabudową drewnianą było charakterystyczne dla małych miast. Jednym z nich jest Bielsk Podlaski. Na jego przykładzie zostanie omówiony problem zmiany dawnego charakteru miasta, którego ważnym elementem była architektura drewniana.
