Brok nad Bugiem - pałac biskupów płockich. Badania wykopaliskowe 1983-1984 roku
Streszczenie
The paper describes the results of architectural and archaeological researches in the palace
of Płock bishops in Brok.
In the preface the author presents the history of the object till the year 1909 when the
inventory plan was accomplished.
In the years 1983-1984, on initiative of the Provincial Conservator of Monuments in
Ostrołęka, the ruins of the palace were subjected to archaeological examinations.
The main objective of the works was to verify the hypothesis about early Mediaeval or
Mediaeval provenance of the object. It was also planned to define the character and possibly
the shape of the first, known from the sources, original construction from the beginning of
the 17th century. Besides it was intended to define the range of damages caused by the Swedes
in the times of Swedish wars and to check how far the remaining ruins were later adapted
for the needs of the 18th century building. Finally, in connection with the project to use this
object in the form of a stable ruin it seemed justified to make an attempt to reveal its plan
until the state from the year 1909.
