Snap StoriesThe Crown Tribunal, Lublin, Poland
The Crown Tribunal in Lublin was the highest court of appeal for the nobility of Lesser Poland in the Crown of the Kingdom of Poland and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. It was established in 1578 at the General Sejm in Warsaw, when King Stefan Batory relinquished his powers as the highest judge in favour of the noble court. From that moment on, the Crown Tribunal became the highest court for matters of land law concerning the nobility.
The building of the Crown Tribunal in Lublin was originally a Gothic town hall on the Old Town Square, built in the 14th century. After a fire in 1389, it was rebuilt and gradually remodelled, acquiring a Renaissance appearance in the 16th century and later a classicist shape in the 18th century during the reconstruction carried out by Dominik Merlini.
The Crown Tribunal functioned in Lublin from 1579 to 1794, being the centre of judicial and political life of the nobility of Lesser Poland and Ruthenia, and having a significant impact on the character of the city during that period.
Currently, the former Crown Tribunal building serves various administrative and cultural functions, including housing the Registry Office and hosting concerts and meetings.
