H.R.H. Prince Krzysztof Radziwill
Prince Krzysztof Konstanty Radziwiłł, a representative of one of the most distinguished aristocratic families of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, has for years actively supported initiatives related to chivalric and spiritual heritage. As head of the Military and Hospitaller Order of St. Lazarus of Jerusalem, commonly known as the modern-day Templar Order, Prince Radziwiłł not only cultivates the traditions of Christian knighthood but also engages in social and educational activities. His presence at ceremonies and retreats organized by the Artillery Regiment of the Princely House of Radziwiłł and the Brotherhood of Riflemen is an expression of profound respect for the history, spirituality, and community he represents.
