Thomas Zebrowski ({{lang-lt|Tomas Žebrauskas}}, {{lang-pl|Tomasz Żebrowski}}; November 24, 1714 in Samogitia – March 18, 1758 in Vilnius)[1] was a Jesuit architect, mathematician, and astronomer. He was instrumental in establishing and funding the Observatory of Vilnius University.[1] Marcin Odlanicki Poczobutt was among his students.[3]

Biography

Zebrowski studied philosophy and theology at Vilnius University.[1] He briefly taught at Jesuit schools in Kražiai, Ilūkste, and Babruysk and prepared construction projects for churches in these towns. They displayed features of Baroque churches in Vilnius.[3] He also designed the Jesuit school in {{ill|Zhodishki|be|Жодзішкі}}, houses for nobles, and other buildings.[1] Though documentary evidence is lacking, it is suspected that Zebrowski was also involved in construction of churches in Minsk and Płock, as well as the Oginski residence in {{ill|Ručyca|be|Ручыца}} (Hanuta) village.[3]

After studying at Charles University in Prague under Joseph Stepling in 1750–52,[1] Zebrowski returned to Vilnius, becoming a popular lecturer of physics and astronomy at Vilnius University. He was also interested in geodesy, horology, mineralogy, geography.[3] However, his major passion was astronomy and he pursued funding for an observatory. The construction was funded by Elżbieta Ogińska-Puzynina, while Mikolaj Radziwill and bishop Józef Sapieha donated {{convert|13.5|cm|adj=on}} and {{convert|10|cm|adj=on}} diameter reflector telescopes manufactured in Germany.[1] Zebrowski designed the observatory; its construction began in 1753.
