Who owned the land? Various people! Typically large tracts of lands were owned by nobil families in that part of Europe.

FYI in the late 1770s the Polish Empire was divided 3 ways with the west going to Prussia, the south to Austria (this Austrian part was called Galicia or Galicy) and the east went to Russia. After WW I Poland was reunited and once again became a country. Except the eastern part of what was Galicia went to Ukraine. So at one time Poland was a large and powerful Kingdom and a Polish king saved Europe from being invaded completely by the Ottoman Turks.
