The composition and organisation of the manor house in Janowiec of the last representatives of the House of Lubomirski. An attempt at a reconstruction

Summary/Abstract: In the 17th and 18th centuries, Lubomirski princes belonged to the most powerful lines of Polish Commonwealth. A younger branch of this family, encompassing Janowiec (in the Radom county) in the middle of the 17th century, together with adjoining territories, became a member of the local socio-financial elite. Lubomirski family’s manor house in Janowiec was through three centuries one of the political and cultural centres in the borderland between the Sandomierz and Lublin regions. However, Prince Antoni Benedykt Lubomirski’s death in 1761 marked the beginning of the crisis in functioning of the manor house. Finally, in 1778 it experienced a fall when all Janowiec properties were sold by Antoni’s son, Jerzy Marcin. The article concerned is an attempt to reconstruct the composition and organization of the manor house of the Lubomirski family in Janowiec in the last years of its functioning. Due to a lack of the line archive, the research is based on church books of the parish in Janowiec, which brought about many interesting observations. On the basis of the material analysed it was possible to partly reconstruct the functioning of the manor house which, in the light of the church books, should be linked with Prince Franciszek Ferdynand Lubomirski, Antoni’s brother. What else was reconstructed is the composition of the clerks managing the property, the staff of the offices, as well as the band performing in the manor house. Some symptoms of the crisis in functioning of the manor house from the half of the 60’s were revealed.
