This study concerns the microclimatic conditions in two historic churches of the temperate climatic zone located in Lublin, Poland: Lublin Cathedral and Post-Bridgettines Church, having regard to their underground crypts. The measurements of the air temperature and RH lasted all 2016 and were compared with optimal heritage protection values included, interalia, in American instruction ASHRAE Handbook.
