Zabytkowych

Zabytkowych is the genitive plural form of the Polish adjective zabytkowy, which means historic, antique, or of cultural heritage. As a grammatical form, zabytkowych appears when the adjective describes a plural noun in cases that require the genitive (for example after certain numerals or prepositions), or in phrases referring to a group of historic items.

Definition and usage

Zabytkowy describes objects, places, or phenomena with historical, artistic, or cultural value that is recognized as part of a heritage. It is commonly used to characterize buildings, artifacts, districts, landscapes, or collections that are protected or valued for their heritage significance. In everyday language, you will find phrases such as zabytkowy budynek (historic building), zabytkowa dzielnica (historic district), or zabytkowe przedmioty (antique items). The form zabytkowych appears in sentences where the noun it modifies is plural and in the genitive (e.g., liczba zabytkowych budynków = the number of historic buildings).

Context

In Poland, terms related to cultural heritage are tied to legal frameworks and preservation practice. Monuments and protected heritage include both immovable objects (budynki, zespoły urbanistyczne, krajobrazy kulturowe) and movable items (obrazy, rzeźby, rękopisy). The adjective zabytkowy is commonly used across official and semi-official contexts to describe such heritage, but the precise form (including zabytkowych) depends on grammatical case and number.
