In 1815 he returned home, and started to work as a secretary of Chancellery of Senat in Congress Poland. Then he worked in the archive of heraldry administration of Congress Poland in Warsaw. He retired in 1844.

Later in his life, Wincenty Danilewicz moved to Jędrzejów. Afterwards he ran the literary production i.e.: three tragedies and the opera buffa. His great-grandson Maciej Masłowski wrote (1957), that in Wincenty testament (1859) thirty volumes of his memoirs were also mentioned.
