with political events, sińce obviously in 1795-1806 when Warsaw was under Prussian rule
there were different conditions for culture from the times of the Duchy of Warsaw, and then
different again, being most favorable, in the Kingdom of Poland.
When Poland lost independence and Warsaw ceased to be the Capital - in the last years of the
18th century and the early years of the 19th century, until 1815 - there were fewer and fewer
construction projects in Warsaw and other large towns. Instead there was a distinct
development of rural building, including palaces, smali and large mansions and farms. It was
a continuation of those types which had been created in the Age of Enlightenment and which
were often related to those conceptions, constituting a new stage in the development of the
rural architecture of palaces and mansions. A great number of new neoclassical designs could
be found in country palaces designed by Stanisław Zawadzki, to mention for instance the 1799
complex of buildings at Dobrzyca. New versions of the country park were created by
Chrystian Piotr Aigner - Marynki at Puławy, 1791, and then about 1800, at Igołomia, and his
reconstruction of Natolin in 1808-1812. His masterpiece was the rebuilding of the castle at
Łańcut and the construction of park pavilions there in the early years of the 19th century.
Jakub Kubicki also designed outstanding country residences: at Radziejowice and Bejsce in
1802, at Pawłowice in 1804 and at Młochów in about 1806; he also rebuilt the pałace at
Sterdyń. Only the most eminent architects and their well-known works have been mentioned
here. The very numerous country residences, very large, large and smali, could be divided
into separate groups, but in any case, there emerged a generał type of pałace and mansion,
very distinct, which can be called Polish. Soplicowo described by Mickiewicz in Pan Tadeusz
was a good example of a modest Polish country manor.
Another example of the continuation of architectural ideas which were formulated in the Age
of Enlightenment is the neoclassical type of a central church. This took shape for the first time
in the Evangelical Church designed by Zug in Warsaw, in Szreger’s church at Skierniewice
and subseąuently in the designs of the church at Ujazdów; it became monumental in the
designs of the Tempie of Divine Providence which was built to commemorate the passing of
the Third of May Constitution. The edifice of the church, built to Kubicki’s authorized
design, was to be a domed central building. Its foundations have survived in a large excavation
