The paper is based on a survey and investigates the functioning of historic gardens during the pandemic. The authors collected and analysed information on the impact of the pandemic on the behaviour of visitors, maintenance, and condition of cultural heritage assets, European historic gardens. Four aspects were considered particularly carefully: the situation of gardens during the COVID-19 pandemic, maintenance and care in gardens, virtual activity and communication, and financial consequences. The authors determined the conditions of the gardens and the problems they faced based on a survey completed by 23 managers of 31 historic gardens from June to August 2020 and then proposed a diagnosis. The paper presents the survey results. In general, visitor volumes tended to drop in 2020, which significantly affected gardens’ financial standing and contributed to workforce reductions. The garden condition and treatments were affected, as well. Reduced visitor volumes resulted in positive environmental changes. Among them were ecological succession, the stability of landscaped plants, increase in vegetation, improved biodiversity in the ground cover, and enhanced animal presence. Additional safety measures were implemented after the gardens were reopened to the public during the pandemic, mostly social distancing, and obligatory face masks. Less than half of the gardens had contingency plans, and 25% of the respondents were working to develop one. The analyses provided foundations to start working on a universal emergency strategy similar to procedures used for years for permanent collections at museums. Note that, being open public spaces and live museums, historic gardens were the first places reopened after the lockdown. Recommendations based on the study can contribute to the future safe functioning of historic gardens in other similar crises. The guidelines offer instructions, advice, and recommendations that form foundations of the development of a universal management model facilitating the preservation of historic gardens in good condition while exploiting their ecological potential.

In the paper, the complexes of sacred architecture in Gliwice are discussed in the context of the urban development of the city. The sacred architecture objects here are connected both with the Roman Catholic and Evangelical denominations. The city, since the medieval times, had been developing around its very centre. One of the most important elements in the study of the history of the urban development of the city was the analysis of the drawings of Friedrich Bernhard Werner and of the state of the city presented on a map from 1902. The research concerned also the landscape in the public space which emphasised the significance of the sacred architecture buildings. Currently, within the administrative perimeter of the city, there are many individual buildings or entire urban complexes which may serve as examples of a landscape sacrum. The origin of these buildings was closely connected with the historical past of the city or was the outcome of its industrialisation occurring from the 18th century onwards. Nowadays, many of these objects can be regarded as examples of buildings of high historical, artistic and cultural value. Historical temples, shrines, crosses and cemeteries illustrate the combination of the changes in the artistic styles and tendencies in sacred architecture and art with the local tradition. They are important elements of the urban composition of the city, being at the same time, places of worship and carriers of its intangible heritage.

In Poland the issue of revitalizing areas in small localities is becoming more and more popular. Recent research along with established methods based on traditions of a given place will be described taking into account the ecological aspects. Such actions are of crucial importance as they deal with shaping the landscapes which are linked with the local heritage and at the same time they improve the quality of the inhabitants’ lives. The aim of revitalization is to create harmony in the area so that the place identity is preserved or restored. Theory confronted with practical application does often pose difficulties. Bearing this in mind, the examples suggesting a possible solution as well as development and improvement of public space will be presented. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5755/j01.sace.4.5.4829
