Abstract

This paper presents selected examples of interconfessional conversions of Christian temples in last fifty years in Poland. It also shows the process of transformation of spatial and functional structures as well as iconography of the temples, implemented throughout adaptation. It covers problems in architectural conservation as well as essential ideological aspects of symbolical and liturgical nature. Those examples are representative for the architecture of cultural borderland, which attempts to synthesize both Western and Eastern Christian art.
