Abstract

The present paper is an attempt to present the issue of burgher townhouse and urban dwelling. The article stressed research problems related with recognition of Late Mediaeval and Early Modern architecture of a burgher house in small Lesser Poland towns. As an example served 4 towns: Chrzanów, Grybów, Stary Sącz i Czeladź. The appearance of Lesser Poland burgher houses is well recognised only in the largest city in the region, namely in Cracow. There are numerous town, whose housing blocks are poorly examined or not known at all. Our knowledge about townhouses and urban dwelling there is still low. To reach that goal, it is necessary to combining various disciplines such as history, art history, architecture, urban history and archeology.
