Abstract
Manorial and grange complexes are characteristic elements of the rural cultural landscape; they constitute
significant evidence of the farming tradition of a region. Unfortunately, nowadays these complexes have often become
dilapidated, their legibility has been obliterated and there have been radical changes in the spatial context. The aim of
this study was to determine whether manorial and grange complexes were given proper attention in the development
and strategic plans worked out by communes. The commune of Tarnowo Podgórne, stretching along the western
boundary of Poznań city, was selected as a case study and research area. An attempt is also made to recognise what
protective provisions the local law makes for those complexes. The authors think that the quality of plans concerning
the facilities under study is unsatisfactory. The Land Use Plan includes recommendations to protect nonexistent facilities
and lists a complex located beyond the commune boundaries. Although the Plan emphasises the significance of
manorial and grange complexes, there are no local spatial development plans for most of them. Some plans referring to
the spatial structures under analysis are imprecise and incomplete, which results in ineffective protection.
