Hilary Szpilowski
Hilary Szpilowski (* 1753 ; † March 10, 1827 ) was a Polish architect and as such a representative of classicism and neo-Gothic . He worked mainly in Mazovia , was a builder here and a university lecturer in Warsaw .
Life
Little is known about his origins, presumably he came from the Szpilowski family in what was then Powiat Rzeczycki . In 1780 he gave up his work as a guard at JW Mierzejewski and began to work under the architect Stanisław Zawadzki in Warsaw with a contract dated January 16, 1781 . In 1782 it was registered with a Warsaw address. In 1783, before the military administration, he accused Zawadzki of creating false designs for the construction of the barracks of Kamieniec Podolski .
From this incident on, Spilkowski worked independently. On April 17, 1785 he received his diploma as a Warsaw architect. From 1807 he worked in the city administration (Polish: Izba Administracyjna Departamentu Warszawskiego ) and held a position as an assessor in the construction department. In 1810, Duke Friedrich August appointed him the department's builder. During the congress of Poland he was also a voivodeship builder of Mazovia. From 1817 to 1823 he worked as a professor at the University of Warsaw . In 1824 his work was published: Wzory kościołów parafialnych po województwach Królestwa Polskiego stawać się mających .
Hilary Spilkowski was the father of Sylwester Szpilowski. He was buried in the Świętokrzyski Cemetery in Warsaw.

He also designed churches and town halls in Mazovia, such as in Piaseczno , Warka , Zaborów, Lipków, Grabowo, Suserz, Grójec , Mogielnica and Gostynin.
