Abstract
Abstract The proper reconstruction of historical architectural elements is not possible without precise knowledge of the materials used for their production. Therefore, this study presents a detailed mineralogical characterization of Baroque decorations occurring in one of the largest sacral objects in Europe (the post-Cistercian abbey in Lubiąz, South-Western Poland) carried out for the renovation purposes. Our analyses demonstrate that studied elements were prepared of raw materials exploited in the vicinity of the abbey, with the exception of dolomitic lime. The stucco lustro and stucco forte techniques, well known during the Baroque and the Renaissance, were applied.
