Summary/Abstract: Since 1872, the foundation of the Temporary Committee on Hungarian Monuments and 1881, the establishment of the National Committee of Monuments until the reorganization of the latter institution in 1934 the protection of the Hungarian monument has evolved essentially based on the historicism in the stylistic sense, while from the turn of the century, the need for modernization has become more and more pronounced. This prevailed in post-medieval art monuments, especially of the opening to the baroque however, only moderate historicism has been realized and created a school. In the last one and a half- decade of the National Committee for Monuments and then throughout the entire period of the National Monument Inspectorate, which was founded directly after the 1956 Revolution this heritage prevailed. Gradual alienation of the traditional monumental approach, its regulatory nature and its characteristics that are difficult to reconcile with the market economy were characterised by grotesque reorganizations and name changes from 1992. In these, from environmental protec tion and cultural heritage concepts to helpless orientation ideas seeking support and protection through different instances prevailed. Today it is impossible to speak about institutional monument protection. For the time being, the outside observer cannot discover where new initiatives are hiding.
