Adam Ludwik was born in 1872. He became the head of the Czartoryski family after the death of his father in 1894. 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
Countess Izabela Działyńska, his aunt, left the
Gołuchów Castle and estates to him and his brother Witold. In the same year Ludwik acquired many
Greek objects during his travel to Japan. In 1901 he married
Countess Maria Ludwika Krasińska. His wife took over the direction of affairs and work. In 1911 his brother Witold died and left Adam Czartoryski all his inheritance. In 1914 Czartoryski served in the Austrian Army, and his wife Maria Ludwika took over the
Czartoryski Museum. During the
First World War, thanks to family connections to the
King of Saxony, 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. During this time the Hotel Lambert, their property in Paris, was transformed into apartments as the family had settled permanently in Poland. On 26 June 1937, Prince Adam Ludwik died and was buried at the family crypt in
Sieniawa. ==Issue==
