The History of a Tenement House Called The Prince’s House in Częstochowa (1912-1939): An Example of a Building Set in the Political, Social and Historical Context of the City

Summary/Abstract: This article concerns the history of the construction of one of the most important buildings in Częstochowa and the changes it has undergone in its its appearance and meaning. The Prince’s House, built by Grand Duke Michael Romanov, reflects the difficult history of the city’s Russification and re-Polonization. The building is deeply set in the historical and symbolic space of whole Częstochowa. It was an embarrassing reminder of the Romanow family, and in the interwar period it was the subject of legal disputes between the city and Michael Romanov’s widow. At that time, the building gained a new appearance and became an architectural monument to Marshal Józef Piłsudski. Today, the house is neglected and abandoned, and so far no monographic work discussing its history in a broad historical, political and social context has been published. The article aims to fill this research gap and determine the exact time of the building’s reconstruction
