The article presents the idea of neomessianism, created in the circles of Polish intelligentsia at the end of the 19th century in Galicia – a part of the Polish territory that was subsequently annexed by the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Galician neomessianism referred to the messianic philosophy of Polish Romantics: A. Mickiewicz, J. Słowacki, J.M. Hoene-Wroński and A. Cieszkowski, simultaneously transforming the themes of Romantic messianism, adapting them to the sociopolitical realities of Poland enslaved until 1918 and rebuilt in the interwar period. The article discusses the views of S. Buszczyński, S. Szczepanowski, W. Dzieduszycki, K. Odrzywolski, A. Boleski, A. Gorski, A. Chołoniewski, W. Lutosławski and J. Braun. It also includes reflections on the specificity of Galician neomessianism and its difference in comparison with Romantic messianism.
