He began his administration of the newly acquired estate by issuing a separate charter, written at the castle of Zloczow in 1599, by which he confirmed all grants and exemptions given the city by his predecessors (the original document is in the town hall).
The Zloczow estate then came into the hands of Jan Sobieski, who frequently stayed there and founded camps there as well; in his numerous charters (preserved in the town hall) he showed his concern for the good of the town.
Immediately after his election in 1674, Jan III was encamped at Zloczow, and after holding a council of war, he decided to postpone his coronation and set off for Ukraine.
