Kazimierz Macur was born on February 17th 1915 in the town of Łuczaj, Postawy county, former Vilnius voivodship. Having been accepted by the State University of Technology in Vilnius in 1933, his encounter with Jan Borowski – lecturer at the University and architect at the Vilnius Conservation Authority – proved essential to his professional career. Upon graduating from the State University of Technology in 1937, Kazimierz Macur was responsible for drafting inventory plans for i.a. the Trakai Island Castle, ruins of the palace in Dobrovlany, and Churches of Saint Michael the Archangel and Saint Anne in Vilnius. He travelled to Gdańsk on invitation by aforementioned professor Jan Borowski, the first Polish historical monument conservator in Gdańsk, and (on July 15th 1946) was offered the position of deputy contract secretary for historical architecture at the Department of Culture of the Voivodship Authority in Gdańsk; he would later join the State Historical Architecture Conservation Studio established by Jan Borowski in February 1947.

Throughout his professional life, he continued developing design projects to reconstruct successive domes damaged or destroyed by war, all crowning the churches of Gdańsk: Church of the Assumption, Saint Catherine’s, Saint Bartholomew, Saint Barbara’s, Saint Brygid’s, and Saint John’s.
