	The article presents a valorisation of material cultural heritage for sentimental tourism of Poles and an analysis of the use of this potential in tourist offer. The analysis of values included defensive buildings and residences, religious buildings, cemeteries, as well as other architectural and technical monuments that can be used for the purposes of Polish sentimental tourism in the Western Ukraine, a territory that belonged to the Second Polish Republic. The analysis based on the point bonitation method showed that the Lviv and Ternopil regions have the greatest potential. However, the tourist offer of Polish travel agencies to the Western Ukraine covers only part of the potential of Polish cultural heritage.
