ABSTRACT
On the example of plan and construction of The Fish Hatchery Centre in Łopuszna, near Nowy
Targ, constructed during the Second World War, exact analysis was carried out concerning
forms and regional stylistic of its buildings. During the occupation Polish architects generally
were not able to operate freely. However, many of them used every opportunity to make good
and valuable architecture and they succeeded in designing excellent buildings despite severe
restrictions imposed by Germans. The Centre in Łopuszna and some other projects were significant constructions free from the influence of German architectural style. Polish architects
consciously and consistently tried to design buildings according to the characteristic features of
Polish architecture. In that way, on the basis of the appreciation of local culture, the great architecture was made, which certainly is a flagship example in Polish architecture.
