The countdown of the Polish magistrate's building begins with the joyous event of granting Kamyanets-Podilsky, albeit not in full, the Magdeburg Law in 1374, which included the city's right to form local self-government bodies (magistrates). Confirmation of previously obtained and additional privileges of Magdeburg law, the city received in 1432 according to the charter of Polish King Wladyslaw II Jagiello (1351-1434). And two years later, Kamyanets became a royal city, gaining even more rights, as a result of which the magistrate's building became the center not only of the city but also of the districts, sheltering the divided Polish, Russian and Armenian magistrates.
