ABSTRACT
Sacred monuments are an important part of the landscape of the Lubuskie region. Kożuchów, a small town some 30 km from the provincial capital Zielona Góra, is a town with a long and rich history, whose area is full of buildings in need of care. One of the important elements in its landscape is the museum of gravestone sculpture - the Lapidarium. The sepulchral lapidarium in Kozuchow is one of the best-preserved sets of tomb sculpture in Poland. It was established in the 1970s on the site of a former Protestant cemetery, for the establishment of which the Evangelical community received permission in 1634. Restoration work is in progress to preserve and protect this regionally and nationally significant sacred monument. In this article, the authors present the renovation processes underway since 2018 and the stages planned for the coming years. The purpose of this article as to point out the remarkable regional importance of a unique example of a sacred monument, which is the Lapidarium in Kozuchow. The uniqueness of the gravestone sculptures with epitaphs contained therein, their exceptional level of craftsmanship and state of preservation predispose the Lapidarium to be saved from destruction and made available to the public.
