The Location of the Hrubieszów Castle: New Indications in the Statistical Description of the Town of Hrubieszów of 12/24 May, 1860.
Janusz Panasiewicz
Abstract
The author publishes and analyses the following source texts from the State Archive in Lublin: the statistical description of Hrubieszów from 1860 with explanations and conclusions of the head of Hrubieszów poviat. He considers the document’s clues to the location of Hrubieszów’s medieval castle, destroyed in 1648, to be his most important discovery. According to these clues, the remains of the castle served as the basis for the erection of the office buildings of the local starostwo (old Polish administrative unit), which have survived to this day. On the town’s contemporary map, this would place the castle between Mayor Kalicki’s manor house from the 1830s and the Du Château manor house. In an attempt to establish the date of the castle’s construction, the author juxtaposes this information with the minutes of the Economic Council of the Hrubieszów Agricultural Society, Kalicki’s correspondence concerning the construction of the house, and the findings of archaeological surveys conducted by Józef Niedźwiedź, who identified a fragment of the moat surrounding the castle. The author also partially refutes the theses formulated by Prof. Wiktor Zin (including the one concerning the castle’s tower), who apparently carried out archaeological research at the site (no documentation of this research has been found). Attention has also been paid to the problem of quicksand and its consequences for the town in the 19th century (building disasters, the failure to rebuild the town hall). The statistical description contains a lot of information about the town’s population, industry, housing, inhabitants’ occupations, street names etc. in 19th century Hrubieszów. The author also suggests a systematic verification of publications about Hrubieszów based on archival sources.
