ABSTRACT
This article examines the encounter between the cultural landscape of a historic residence and contemporary urban development. It aims to find the proper framework for the conservation and development of such areas. The issue has been analysed on the example of the Royal Axis in Wilanów. The research concerned: the creation and transformation of the Royal Axis and its landscape context, the contemporary development of this area, the state of Axis relics and forms of protection as well as the elaboration of directions for the further protection and development, taking into account the recommendations of international doctrinal documents and good practices.
