EN As a result of the intensive development of multimedia, 3D visualizations of various kinds of historically, artistically or scientifically valuable objects became standard at the beginning of the 21st century. What triggered the construction of three-dimensional visualizations was the will to protect cultural heritage – especially historical monuments which are in ruins and exposed to further destruction – as well as the need to disseminate information about such objects beyond a small group of specialists. Another catalyst for this was the need to verify the existing proposals for reconstructions or research hypotheses. The bishop’s palace in Milicz (Poland) was probably built in the late thirteenth or early fourteenth century. It was a brick building whose layout was typical of ducal buildings known in Silesia. The erection of the building in Milicz was connected with the creation of the Church castellany in this area. The visualization of the oldest phase of the bishop’s palace in Milicz is part of the project Regni custodiam et clavem – Santok and clavis regni Poloniae – Milicz as an example of two border towns, implemented by the Institute of Archaeology and Ethnology of the Polish Academy of Sciences and financed with the funds of the National Program for the Development of Humanities for the years 2011-2017 (number 11H 11 0184 80). Virtual reconstructions were based on the analysis and interpretation of source materials, in accordance with the guidelines contained in the London Charter. The purpose of the visualization is to present the history of the building to the residents of Milicz and tourists and, in the long run, to allow local authorities to take steps towards the preservation and revitalization of the bishop’s palace.
