List of Historic Monuments (Poland)
Historic Monument (Polish: pomnik historii, pronounced [ˈpɔm.ɲik xisˈtɔ.rji]) is one of several categories of objects of cultural heritage (in the singular, zabytek) in Poland.[1]
To be recognized as a Polish historic monument, an object must be declared such by the President of Poland.[1] The term "historic monument" was introduced into Polish law in 1990, and the first Historic Monuments were declared by President Lech Wałęsa in 1994.[2]
