Roman Potocki

Roman Potocki. End of the 19th century. The photograph depicts the third ordinary of Łańcut, Roman Potocki (1851-1915). He was the older son of Maria, nee Sanguszko, and Alfred Józef Potocki, from whom he inherited the ordinariate in 1899. Together with his second wife, Elżbieta nee Radziwiłł, he conducted grand refurbishment, redevelopment and upgrade works between the 19th and 20th centuries of the Łańcut residence, the city and the entire agricultural and industrial plant of the ordinariate. The ordinary stands in front of the main castle façade, with the grass field and, farther back, the classicist revival gloriette, behind him. Aldona Cholewianka-Kruszyńska
