The Confederation of the Polish Nobility is a socio-cultural organisation affiliating the nobility of the former Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The Confederation’s tasks include primarily:
- integration and representation of the noble community,
- protection of the good name of the nobility of the Commonwealth of Nations,
- popularisation and promotion of culture,accomplishments and the best noble traditions,
- rebirth and preservation of knight’s ethos.
Our Confederation affiliated both the descendants of middle-class nobility and also wealthy and meaningful noble stocks. The Confederation has now about 500 members representing nearly 300 noble stocks. On many occasions, our members play an active role in the cultural, scientific and business life of contemporary Poland. It should be stressed that the Confederation of the Polish Nobility is in no way a usurping organisation, it neither grants nor takes away the nobility and candidates to the Confederation are admitted exclusively based on the land law of the First Polish Republic.
The Confederation is not tied with any political or religious option.
