Summary/Abstract: In this article the author analyses the provisions of the Polish Law on the protection of monuments and care for monuments related to movable monuments in the context of the object of registration in the register of monuments according to the current law, taking into also account provisions of the Civil Code on movable property. The author presents a discussion of the status of a movable object in civil law as a separate single item, fixtures in the building (component item), or appurtenances, in order to show the difference between a movable monument and a part of a immovable property. Currently, this distinction is particularly problematic in practice in the area of the registration of monuments of art decoration of sacred buildings (churches, temples). It is not in accordance with the Polish law The practice to enter decorations of walls and other facades of buildings into the register of movable monuments is not legitimate, instead they should be regarded as permanent facilities of immovable monuments (mainly the temples) covered with one entry – as fixtures or appurtenances of historical immovable property. The author’s remarks may serve as a basis for further legislative work on the proposal for the content of the law on the protection of monuments and the protection of monuments. The final part of the article concerns the protection of folklore (intangible cultural heritage) with the entry of movable monuments into the register of immovable monuments (buildings) as movables appurtenances belonging – due to the tradition and their function – to a particular place.
