Ogiński

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ogiński (Lithuanian: Oginskiai) was a noble family of Lithuania and Poland, member of The Princely Houses of Poland. They were most likely of Rurikid stock, related to Chernihiv Knyaz family. On September 18, 1711 Bishop Bogusław Gosiewski, sold the town of Maladzyechna the Ogiński family. Among the owners of the area were Kazimierz Ogiński and Tadeusz Ogiński, the Castellan of Trakai. The Ogiński family made it one of the main centres of their domain. They erected a new, classicist palace with notable frescoes, as well as a late renaissance church. In 1882 the villages Zalavas (Polish: Zułów) and Kavarskas were bought by Michał Ogiński, an heir to the Ogiński family who had owned it in the 18th century. They also temporarily possessed Siedlce. They were the sponsors of Orthodox editions in Ruthenian and Slavonic languages. ^[1] Orthodox publicists called the clan of Oginski "the bastion of Orthodox faith". The last orthodox magnate, Marcjan Aleksander Ogiński had to choose between Roman Catholic and Greek-Catholic Church ^[2]. The Ogiński clan had a political domination in the palatinate of Vitsebsk, where builded palace in the first half of the 17th century by Samuel Oginski, until the beginning of the 19th century, it was the largest public building in the city.
