Summary/Abstract: This work examines the influence of the Schaffgotsch family on shaping the spacial layout and architectural design of two private towns: Gryfów Śląski and Mirsk. It contains the analysis of the urban layout and infrastructure of the towns before and after they became a part of the estate of the family in question, as well as an attempt to evaluate the relations between the representatives of urban communes and the town owners. As a result, the work presents a network of formal and informal links between these two parties, which had a positive impact on the economic development of the towns. It also proves that the Schaffgotsch family had little interest in interfering with the spacial layout and infrastructure of the analysed centres.
