The catalogue structure

The structure of this publication is based on the first catalogue developed for the Ziemia Łęczycka region. The layout is subordinate to the basic goal of the project, which is cataloguing and inventorying the vanishing material heritage created by the Dutch colonists, who developed previously uncultivated areas of Ziemia Łęczycka, including:

  • Rural settlements

  • Homesteads

  • Residential and farm buildings

  • Churches

  • Cemeteries


Therefore, field research was an essential element of the project. Its purpose was:

  • to verify the range of the Dutch colonization; that is, identify and describe the villages included in this colonization,

  • to catalogue all objects that had not been previously included in the inventory,

  • to verify the information regarding the catalogued objects,

  • to obtain current photographic documentation of the objects.


Unfortunately, during the preliminary survey of the library holdings at the Krajowy Ośrodek Badań (National Research Center) and the Documentation of the Historical Monument in Warsaw, it was discovered that restoration documentation for objects potentially related to this colonization does not exist. Therefore, collection of information about the sites associated with the Olęder settlement was considered the highest priority. In developing this catalogue, I have taken into account and described individual objects related to this colonization. As was the case in Mazowsze, the actual number of settlements founded by the Dutch in Ziemia Łęczycka was found to be larger than the data provided in the literature.
