Summary/Abstract: The context of placing the coffin with the remains of King Stanisław Leszczyński in the Church of St. Catherine in Petersburg in 1857 is carried in the article. The remains finally returned to Poland and they rest in Wawel (Kraków, Poland). The history of peregrination of the remains from France to Russia and in the end to Poland is commonly known as well as their arrival to Petersburg and their burial next to King Stanisław August Poniatowski and other dignitaries responsible for their rescue. The role of the Łubieński Family and particularly the one of the bishop of Sejny Konstanty Ireneusz Łubieński in the recapture of the remains is highlighted in the article. The life of the priest traced there is based on the souvenirs of his family and his fellow priests. Thanks to their testimony it becomes clear why the burial of the remains was feasible.
