After his death the good along with the economy were inherited by his sons. In 1933, the property which amounted to 500 ha of land, was purchased by Ludwik Kostrzewski but he lost it as a result of the agricultural reform after 1944. The economy, in which many generations of officers working in the property lived and worked, was at first owned by the Commune Association “Samopomoc Chłopska” (Peasant Self-Support) in Wilków, and after 1972 by the Commune Association in Błędów, which gave the building to the Museum.
