The article presents the possibility of using pictures taken with aerial and ground-based metric measuring cameras in surveying and visualizing architectural objects. The areas of interest include historic and damaged buildings belonging to the farm complex in Mściwojów, in Lower Silesia. To prepare vector architectural drawings, digital photogrammetric station Delta, as well as a digital autograph VSD were used. The digital terrain model was generated on the basis of aerial photographs, and the visualization of the whole village with the body of water in Mściwojów was developed using MicroStation software.
