The Ancestral Home (Polish: Dom Ojczysty, DO) was a nationalist[7] political association and then a political party in Poland, founded on 3 April 2004 and disbanded on 14 November 2005. Initially founded by Jerzy Robert Nowak as a political association Nationwide Movement for the Defence of Polishness "Dom Ojczysty", it was soon reorganized into a political party, as a splinter of the far-right League of Polish Families (LPR). It was then led by Piotr Krutul, who left LPR together with a few other members of the Sejm. The party was founded to protest the decision of LPR leadership to participate in the 2004 European Parliament election in Poland, which it saw as betrayal of the party's nationalist and anti-EU principles.[8] For the 2005 Polish parliamentary election, the party co-founded the Patriotic Movement (Polish: Ruch Patriotyczny) as an effort to unite National Catholic groupings,[9] but ultimately decided to run independently. In the 2005 election, it registered electoral lists in half of the electoral districts and won 0.28% of the popular vote and no seats. It dissolved in November 2005.[10]

The party was mainly oriented around opposition to the European Union, which Dom Ojczysty saw as devastating to Polish agriculture, as well as Polish economic sovereignty.[11] Its main goal was to build a strong, sovereign Poland" based on Christian values and empower the Catholic Church,[12] goals which the party saw mutually exclusive with entering the European Union.[3] It presented the European Union as an organization dominated by large corporations that would then exploit Poland once it would enter the European common market.[4] The party proposed to organize a second referendum on joining the European Union in Poland.[8] Apart from its vehement opposition to the European Union, the party promoted protectionism as well as sovereigntism, stressing the need to protect Polish industries and to maintain the ownership of the Polish economy in Polish hands.[3]
