The of monuments listed in the register is a key element of national heritage conservation policy, and appropriate legal regulations play a fundamental role in this process. This article analyzes the current legal status regarding monument protection in Poland, highlighting the need for systemic changes in legislation to enable more effective protection of properties with historical and cultural value. The conducted research reveals significant gaps in existing regulations, which lead to the marginalization of less valuable objects and create ambiguities in their classification as monuments. Furthermore, the article emphasizes the pressure for changes aimed at adapting buildings to current needs through changes in use by investors and developers, often resulting in compromises that threaten the authenticity of the monuments. The study points to the need for a comprehensive financing and support system for private owners of monuments, as well as the importance of an integrated approach to damaged objects losing their authenticity due to lack of government support. As a result, the proposed changes aim for better management and protection of these sites against degradation, ensuring that valuable elements of cultural heritage remain preserved for future generations.
