Paweł Giżycki

Paweł Giżycki (1692 – 1762) was a Polish Jesuit architect who worked in eastern regions of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth (mainly in the Crown of the Kingdom of Poland).

In 1713–1716, he studied philosophy in Lublin College and until 1719 lectured in Lwów, Sambor and Sandomierz.

It is during this period that Giżycki likely received his architectural education at Kacper Bażanka's workshop, and perhaps participated in the reconstruction of the burnt Kraków College.

His first known architectural work was the main altar of Żywiec parish church, dated to 1724.

[4] Giżycki died on 28 January 1762 in Krzemieniec, Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth (now Kremenets, Ukraine).
