Adam Ludwik Czartoryski
Encyclopedia
Prince Adam Ludwik Czartoryski (1872–1937) was a Polish
nobleman, landowner, and patron of the arts.
Adam became the head of the Czartoryski family after the death of his father Władysław. In 1897 he became Ordynat of the Sieniawa Ordynacja property. Capital assets were estimated at 4.5 million Austrian Crowns, which did not include the Family Collections. In 1899 Izabela Działyńska, aunt of Adam, left the Glochów estates to him and his brother Witold. In the same year Adam acquired many Greek
objects during his travel to Japan.
In 1901 he married Countess Maria Ludwika Krasińska
. His young wife took over the direction of affairs with tremendous determination, being a great heiress in her own right.
In 1911 his brother Witold died and left Adam all his inheritance.
In 1914 Adam served in the Austrian Army, and his wife Maria Ludwika took over the Czartoryski Museum
. During the First World War, thanks to Royal Saxon Family connections, she sent the most valuable objects over to Dresden
.
After the war, there was some difficulty retrieving the objects because of concern about unrest in Poland, but two years of negotiation, along with the 1919 Treaty of Riga which provided for the return of looted items, helped in reassembling the collection, a process which continued for the next several years.
On 26 June 1937, Prince Adam died and was buried at the Family crypt in Sieniawa
