The state of maintenance and the technical issues concerning the palace-and-park complex in Siemianowice Śląskie

The residence presented in this paper, namely the palace and park complex in Siemianowice Śląskie, is one of the most valuable monuments of this Upper Silesian town. Located in the town centre, it has had a well-deserved reputation for a number of years, still being among the elite places of interest in the local area. Throughout the time, the palace with the surrounding park have undergone a number of transformations that have influenced its contemporary state of maintenance, either directly or indirectly. The present study aims to analyse and assess the outcome of those transformations. The results of the study will be used to evaluate the present technical condition of the palace, as well as to draw conclusions as to the architectural and social challenges that the complex is facing nowadays
