The Kalinowski family was a notable Polish noble family that belonged to a limited and small circle of Magnates of Poland and Lithuania.

History

Like many other noble families of the Kingdom of Poland, the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, and the Duchy of Ruthenia, they played a prominent role in Polish, and to a lesser extent, in Belarusian history. They were descended from Andrzej Kalinowski (1465 – 1531) and used the Kalinowa coat of arms. On 17 August 1818, the family was awarded the title of Count in the Austrian Empire.[1]
