Abstract: The palace complex in Cianowice near Krakow (Lesser Poland, Poland) built around
1890, after 1945 ceased to function as a residential, so the whole building underwent successive
devastation. Military activities, ad hoc repairs and long-term shortage of funds in Poland, led to
the destruction of the magnificent assumptions. Since 2006. Palace remained completely
unsecured and unattended. Performed in 2012-2015 modernization of the historic palace with
the expansion of the basement (for residential building multigenerational) has become the
occasion for a thorough diagnosis of the prevailing geotechnical conditions and the state of
preservation of threads stone and brick walls and vaults chambers basement. Difficult ground
conditions, water penetration, lack of insulation of horizontal and vertical has become one of the
main causes of the destruction of the foundations and walls of basements. Moisture from the
ground, rising damp in the walls (with dissolved salts in it), evaporate causing erosion of the
walls. The result it led to the weakening of the structural and breakout layers of walls. The
phenomenon has become particularly clear after the geotechnical surveys, excavations and
complete discovery of the basement walls. The conducted works related to general technical
renovation and restoration, included foundations (lining and insulation), walls, floors and roof.
The assumption palace in Cianowice, through appropriate interference with the use of modern
and introduction of a new substance, in any manner that emphasizes value and historical
monument became possible to restore the important significance of the object and place.
