Summary/Abstract: The work discusses the image of the medieval archi- tectural heritage in the Polish public discourse of the nineteenth century. The author uses a corpus of texts published in academic journals and books to ana- lyze the attitudes towards historical buildings in a period marked by intense development of the national cause and Romanticism, and later by the grow- ing competition between the empires of Central Europe in the field of culture. The analysis shows growing esteem for the Gothic style, which was seen as having great potential for the future of architecture, as the well as general pessimistic attitude towards culture prevalent in the 1880s.
