The House of Kalinowski 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 Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, 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. This family lives to this day in Poland.
