Statement of Significance
Warsaw was deliberately annihilated in 1944 as a repression of the Polish resistance to the German occupation. The capital city ci was reduced to ruins with
the intention of obliterating the centuries-old
old tradition of Polish statehood. The rebuilding of the historic city, 85% of which was destroyed, was the result of
the determination of the inhabitants and the support of the whole nation. The reconstruction of the Old Town in its historic urban and architectural form was
the manifestation of the care and attention taken to assure the survival of one of the most important testimonials of Polish culture. The city – the symbol of
elective authority and tolerance, where the first democratic European constitution, the Constitution of 3 May 1791, was adopte adopted – was rebuilt. The
reconstruction included the holistic recreation of the urban plan, together with the Old Town Market, the town houses, the circuit
circuit of the city walls, as well as
the Royal Castle and important religious buildings. The reconstruction of Warsaw’s historical centre was a major contributor to the changes in the doctrines
related to urbanisation and conservation of urban development in most of the European countries after the destruction of World Worl War II. Simultaneously, this
example illustrateses the effectiveness of conservation activities in the second half of the 20th Century, which permitted the integral reconstruction
reconstr of the
complex urban ensemble.
Criterion (ii): The initiation of comprehensive conservation activities on the scale of the entire
entire historic city was a unique European experience and contributed
to the verification of conservation doctrines and practices.
Criterion (vi): The historic centre of Warsaw is an exceptional example of the comprehensive reconstruction of a city that had been deliberately and totally
destroyed. The foundation of the material reconstruction was the inner strength and determination of the nation, which broughtbrough about the reconstruction of
the heritage on a unique scale in the history of the world.
Long Description
The reconstruction of the historic centre of Warsaw, associated with events of considerable historic significance, has exercised
exercised a considerable influence, in
the majority of European countries, on the evolution of doctrines of urbanization and the preservation
preservation of older districts of cities.
Following the insurrection of the inhabitants of Warsaw in August 1944, the Polish capital was annihilated in a reprisal by the the Nazi occupation troops. From
these ruins, between 1945 and 1966, the will of the nation
nation brought to life again a city of which 85% had been destroyed. The reconstruction of the historic
centre so that it is identical with the original symbolizes the will to ensure the survival of one of the prime settings of Polish
Polish culture and illustrates, in
i an
exemplary fashion, the restoration techniques of the second half of the 20th century. The reconstruction of religious edifices
edifices such as the Cathedral of St
John, the churches of Our Lady, St James and the Holy Trinity, and the palace, was accompanied by by the integral restitution of the urban whole, with its full
land allotment and its reconstruction. The example of the market place of the Old City is justifiably famous.
Warsaw Old Town was established in the 13th century. The heart of the area is the Old Town Market Square: until the end of the 18th century the square
was the most important place in Warsaw; regular fairs and festivities were held here. During the Second World War the square was turned into rubble, but
after many years of reconstruction it was restored to its original beauty. Surrounding streets feature old architecture such as the City Walls and the Barbican.
The Cathedral of St John, completed in the 15th century, was originally a parish church and only became a cathedral in 1798. During the war it was
destroyed but it has been restored to its original Gothic style. The interior of the cathedral features many works of religious
religious art, tombs and various sculptures
and paintings.
