The heritage of the monastery complex of the Capuchin Fathers in the context of the transformation of the landscape of Lubartów. The monastery complex in Lubartów is an interesting structure. Despite the monastic dissolution in Poland and Europe in the 18th and 19th centuries, the monastery complex retained its original function and, to a large extent, compositional layout. Its construction took place in the first half of the 18th century, and since then, it has undergone many transformations adapting the layout to the needs of the city’s inhabitants. The dissolution of the monastery in 1866 and the return of the monks who live in it and conduct cultural activities until now, after 112 years, should be emphasised. The article presents the nature of these transformations and the contemporary resources of monastery gardens against the city’s changing spatial arrangement. After the Second World War, Lubartów entered a new path of urban development, following industry development. Contemporary transformations should not threaten the historical resources. The more so as the complex of the monastery gardens in Lubartów is an important and unique element of the urban greenery system while simultaneously performing important cultural functions.
