The aim of this study was to demonstrate the possibility of using data from the terrestrial laser scanning and presentation of the course of works when creating visualization from the cloud of points, and to show the benefits of using laser scanning technology in the presentation of a historic building with the specification of its most interesting elements. The terrestrial scans used in this work were acquired thanks to courtesy of two companies: WROGEO from Wroclaw and TERRA MAP Ltd. from Krakow.
