ABSTRACT
The article presents selected examples of use of the ground penetrating radar method in surveying sacral buildings and post-military structures. This surveying method and its use are synthetically characterized. The GPR equipment, research methodics and results are described for the performed search of an unknown crypt in the catacombs of the church of Our Lady of Can-dlemas in Kożuchów and the historical escape tunnel from the Second World War in the area of the Stalag Luft III Allied Prisoner-of-war Camp: The Site of the 1944 “Great Escape”, Zagan (Ger.- Sagan).
