City Introduction

Kielce is a city whose history goes back many centuries. It is not known when the city was founded, but it obtained city status in 1384. Kielce then developed with setbacks during the 17th century Polish-Swedish war. From 1795 Kielce was Austrian, and twenty years later the city became part of the Russian Empire, which lasted until the First World War.

Kielce is today a Polish city, where different cultures over time have left their cultural and architectural mark on the city, which today has around 200,000 inhabitants and several interesting sights. The old part of the city is manageable to walk with all sights within walking distance from each other. As in many other Polish cities, the market square Rynek forms the center, and it is a great place to start a tour.

On the Rynek, Kielce’s neoclassical town hall from the 19th century stands to the west, and the other sides of the square are developed with low buildings, where there are a number of cafes and restaurants with cozy outdoor seating in the season. Close to this is the main street Henryka Sienkiewicza, which connects the city’s railway station and cultural center. You can visit the city museum Muzeum Historii Kielc as well, which tells the story of the city.

In the center you can also enjoy a stroll to the most famous sights that can be seen on the castle mound Wzgórze Zamkowe. You can visit Pałac Biskupi, which was built as the summer palace of the bishops of Kraków, and which today is the national museum with exhibitions in the fields of painting, crafts, folk art, archeology and natural sciences. At the palace you can also see Kielce’s cathedral, which was built in the Baroque style in the 18th century.

The town prospered in the 14th century, and the decades around the year 1500 was a booming time as well, since Częstochowa was allowed to charge money to cross the site’s bridge over the Warta. Later, industrialization contributed to great growth in the city.

The town plan of Częstochowa is characterized by the large square, Plac Władysława Biegańskiego, where the town hall and the city museum are located. From here, the wide and long street Aleja Najświętszej Maryi Panny goes both east and west, and it forms the central axis of the city.
