The Wilanów Palace Fabrica under Elżbieta Sieniawska. Remarks on the Organization of a Magnate Construction Site in the 18th Century Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth

Summary/Abstract: One of the more interesting periods in the history of the Wilanów Palace spanned 1720-29 when the former residence of King Joh III Sobieski residence in the suburbs of Warsaw was owned by Elżbieta Sieniawska née Lubomirski, wife of the Grand Hetman of the Crown and Cracow Castellan. Interestingly, the resourceful magnate competed for the Palace against King Augustus II and she won the rivalry. At the point when Sieniawska acquired the key to the Wilanów Palace, it was in a deplorable state, while the ruined home farms did not yield expected income. In view of this Sieniawska decided to restore the financial liquidity to the estates there, which would allow to e.g. maintain the Palace. Elżbieta Sieniawska née Lubormiski was one of the major figures on the political and artistic arena of the Saxon era.
