The palace in the Czechów district of Lublin. A study on the history of the old cultural landscape of Lublin

Abstract

The first information about a fortified “building in Czechów” and a manor farm of 460 hectares, and a mill dates back to 1470. In the Middle Ages, a tower court was likely to exist there, which was rebuilt into a defensive building in the 17th century. From the 15th to the 18th century, Czechów became in turn a property of famous noble families of Lublin, from the Koniński family, through the Bychawski family and the Ożarowski family, to the Tarło magnate family. The palace had a good location. It was situated on a hill above the pond near the Czechówka river. In the 18th century, the building started to decay. In 1877, it was demolished and replaced by a single-storey manor house. At the beginning of the 20th century, the Mariavite Church was built here which exists to this day. At the moment, there is no longer any trace of the former aristocratic residence.
