Summary/Abstract: This commentary concerns an important issue related to cultural heritage protection law: limitations imposed on the ownership of movable monuments. It offers support for the verdict of the Polish Constitutional Court of 25 May 2016, wherein it analyzes a regulation introduced by an amending Act of 10 July 2015 to the Act on the Protection and Guardianship of Monuments. The Act, as amended, constitutes a new form of cultural heritage protection – registration on the “List of Cultural Heritage Treasures”. In its verdict the Polish Constitutional Court declares that the new regulation is constitutional, as it does not lead to the imposition of excessive limitations on property rights.
