Count Milewski Count Milewski was a nobleman of Polish-Lithuanian origin. He had a connection with the history of Rovinj since 1905 when he purchased the island of St. Katarina. Tired of his turbulent living, he sought peace in Rovinj on the island of St. Katarina where he began his peculiar solitary lifestyle. He wanted to create his own heaven on earth, but also planned to transform the island into a glamorous tourist spot, build his own residence and provide an array of amenities for rich customers. He got to work seriously: he rented a tugboat and tow ships and brought enormous amounts of soil from the areas around Rovinj and Vrsar, spread them around the karstic terrain on the island and then enriched it by systematic foresting. It is worth mentioning that there was certain rivalry with Baron Hütterott – thanks to them, Rovinj now has one of the most beautifully wooded environments with an abundant 100-year forest on the entire Croatian coast. As he grew old, Milewski began to pave all pathways around the island to be able to enjoy pleasant strolls or cart rides around the island. He built four piers on the island and several rainwater tanks, only to proceed to build a spacious, elegant and magnificent castle in the middle, at the lowest point of the island, as well as a separate building with guestrooms in the place of the former hospice and monastery near the bell tower of St. Katarina’s Church. The plan also provided for a real casino in the castle. Milewski never planned to share his island with the residents of Rovinj and restricted their access to the island, but did, however, began to build a separate bathing resort for them where the present Delfin swimming pool is. He died of a heart attack in 1926 at the age of 81.

Grof Milewski Grof Milewski bio je plemić poljsko-litvanskog podrijetla. Vezan je za rovinjsku povijest od 1905. godine kada kupuje otok Sv. Katarina. Zasićen burnim životom potražio je mir u Rovinju na otoku Sv. Katarina gdje je započeo njegov samotnjački i osobeni način života. Htio je urediti svoj raj na zemlji, planirajući da od otoka učini mondeno turističko mjesto, izgradi svoju rezidenciju i raznoliki sadržaj za bogatu klijentelu. Dao se na ozbiljan posao: unajmio je remorker i dva broda kojima je iz okolice Rovinja i Vrsara doveo ogromne količine zemlje, zasuo kraški teren na otoku i tek ga onda sistemski pošumio. Valja napomenuti da je postojao izvjesni natjecateljski rivalitet s barunom Hütterottom, pa zahvaljujući njima Rovinj ima danas jedan od najljepše pošumljenih okoliša bogatom 100-godišnjom šumom na cijeloj hrvatskoj obali. Kako je s vremenom ostario Milewski počinje s popločivanjem ciglom svih puteljaka oko otoka, da bi po otoku mogao uživati u ugodnim šetnjama ili voziti u kolicima. Na otoku je sagradio četiri pristupna mola, više cisterni s kišnom vodom, te započeo i izgradnju prostranog, otmjenog i prelijepog dvorca u sredini na najnižoj točki otoka, ali i posebnu zgradu s gostinskim sobama na mjestu gdje se nekada nalazio hospicij odnosno samostan u blizini zvonika crkvice sv. Katarine. Zamišljeno je da se u dvorcu otvori i oformi igračnica s pravim casinoom. Milewski svoj otok nije planirao dijeliti sa stanovništvom Rovinja, pa im je zabranio pristup otoku ali je zato za njih počeo graditi posebno kupalište na području današnjeg bazena Delfin. Umire od srčanog infarkta 1926. godine u 81 godini života.
