The fascinating and unique image of baroque Warsaw has not been well investigated. Its layout gradually developed since 1620–30s along two directions – Vistula River and the main roads outside the city. Vast majority of gardens belonged to nobles and magnates; developed on fair-sized plots of lands, with palaces “entre cour et jardin”, they formed miniatures of French baroque landscape layouts. In a garden planning the most important role played vistas towards the Vistula valley (gardens on a top of a river slope), while more rarely – into the city. The 18th century Warsaw made a kind of a “garden city”. Besides, following foreign models, a significant phenomenon of a public garden emerged there.In the country another distinctive phenomenon should be noticed, i.e. private towns, accompanying magnate residences. With huge, magnificent gardens as important components, residences formed independent islands in towns, while dominating their planning. The strictly private character of these gardens was expressed by encompassing with walls.

Noblewomen such as Izabela Czartoryska and Helena Radziwill considered gardens as their own domains; due to their activities the landscape garden became part of the emerging aristocratic culture. In search of the individual character of these gardens the text analyses the combination of various decisive factors: specific property rights granted to noblewomen, the national ideal of a country life and the exchange of ideas with like-minded European intellectuals, in which aristocratic women participated. Their gardens had open or hidden agendas, which initially alluded to literary, philosophic or freemasonic topics; by the end of the century they focused on patriotic clues expressing devotion to national traditions. This became all the more important after the partition of the Polish-Lithuania Commonwealt...

Comfort required for the image of a nobleman was sought in both residencies, though it was expressed in different ways. The article attempts to answer the question as to what was the influence of political activity and ambitions as well as artistic and intellectual inclinations of owners on construction. A great palace with a garden and a park was built, sacred objects were funded, an entire town was urbanistically formed in Wolczyn. An attempt was made to build the new capital of the family which belonged to “Familija” supporters, along with implementation of the entire programme of artistic ideas revealing the painting of the ideal nobleman. Meanwhile Jablonow, owned by a member of an...

The architecture of the chapel was directly modelled on a late baroque church at Wołczyn, probably by making effective use of its design by an eminent Warsaw architect Johannn Sigismund Deybel, while elevations were ornamented à la grecque as late as in the 1770s, possibly introducing the earliest neoclassicist forms in Lithuania. Based on restricted archival sources combined with site inspection, the article reconstructs the history of the building and disposition of the residence, placing the chapel within its composition as a Gesamtkunstwerk serving the glory of the owner. It analyses the mechanisms of magnate foundation and the problem of sharing the sacred objects by the Roman Catholic and Uniate rites. It also emphasizes originality of exploiti...
