Purple Room, Wedding Room, formerly the Ambassador's Peace Salon
One of the most beautiful rooms in which the most architectural details have been preserved: the stucco decoration of the mirror ceiling, overdoors, and wainscoting. From the eighties of the twentieth century, there is a tapestry threaded with gold in red. Unfortunately, we will no longer see the ornate, white tiled stove placed in the left corner.
This room was deliberately chosen as the Civil Registry Office. It is here that wedding vows are made to the strains of Mendelssohn's march. When in this room, one cannot forget about the distinguished couples who said their solemn "YES" in Żagań. On the eighteenth of March, eighteen hundred and one, in the Church of Grace, the local pastor blessed the marital union of Peter Biron's third daughter, Joanna Katarzyna, an Evangelist, with Francesco Pignatelli de Belmonte - the Catholic Duke of Acerenza. On the third of October, eighteen hundred and fifty-seven, the granddaughter of Duchess Dorota, Maria Countess de Castellane married Anthony Prince Radziwiłł in the church dedicated to the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. On the twentieth of February, eighteen hundred and sixty, Clementine Marie Wilhekmine de Talleyrand - Périgord, the second granddaughter of the Duchess, also married in the same church, with Alexander Count Orłowski. Meanwhile, on the third of May, eighteen hundred and seventy-six, Clementine's brother – Archimbauld married the daughter of the French ambassador in Berlin, named Gontaut-Biron. Two stepdaughters of the Żagań Duke Napoleon Louis, daughters of Pauline from her first marriage, also got married in the Żagań church.
