ENIn the Grand Duchy of Lithuania the city was not a territory governed only by Magdeburg Law. Grodno, as the centre of the district and the king's residence, has always been in nobility's sphere of interest. The constitution of the Sejm of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth adopted in 1673 increased in number nobility's property in Grodno in the 17th - 18th centuries. The magnates Ogiński also had some property in Grodno. General audit of Grodno city in 1680 shows that Voivode of Trakai Marcjan Aleksander Ogiński had some property on the Podolia Street. Voivode of Mstislav Jan Jacek Ogiński owned five parcels: 1) on the Market Square (Rynek); 2) Podolia Street; 3) Neman Street (Podsadzę); 4) Goldsmiths Street (Złota); 5) a street running from the Bernardines Street towards the Mound. Documented information about properties of the Oginskis in Grodno is sketchy. For instance, former property on the street leading towards the Mound was purchased by Grand Notary of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania Michał Ogiński in 1752 for 5,500 zloty from Jakub Rukiewicz, son of the Sword-bearer of Grodno. Until then the property was in possession of the Massalskis and Micutas. Teresa z Ogińskich, the wife of Treasurer of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania Jan Michał Dowojna Sołłohub, in the same year 1752 sold a stone palace on the Bridge Street to aforementioned Grand Notary M. Ogiński.Relieved of the obligation to provide night accommodation, i.e. "liberated" property on the Slaughterhouses Street was changing hands, until in 1764 Bishop of Kyiv Józef Załuski gave it as a gift to Jadwiga Załuska, the wife of Castellan of Trakai Tadeusz Franciszek Ogiński. In 1766 Jadwiga z Załuskich Ogińska gave this house to her son Ksawery Franciszek, the Elder of Pervalkas. It should be marked that the Ogiński palaces in Grodno were well organized for temporary residence. They were built form timber or stone and had all additional buildings on their territories. Parcels changed owners by the way of transfer, inheritance or gift. Grodno played the significant role in the political life of the Grand Duchy °f Lithuania. With the political significance of Grodno in mind, it became attractive for nobility as well for the Oginskis. [From the publication]
