Tips from the Community
Piekoszów can be an interesting stop on a bicycle route around Kielce. There are ruins of Jan Aleksander Tarło's palace, which was almost a copy of the Kielce bishops' palace. Although only a ruin without a roof remains of the former residence, you can still see the layout of the rooms. The history of the palace's construction is connected with an anecdote about Tarło's rivalry with the bishop of Kraków. The building is publicly accessible, but unfortunately neglected, but it can still be an interesting point on the map for history lovers.

In 1900, on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of his literary work, the Polish society organized a fundraiser for the future Nobel Prize winner and funded it in gratitude for his work. On this occasion, a civic committee was formed to prepare a program for the jubilee celebrations. The notarial deed was signed in Kielce on July 18, 1900 in the presence of counselor Tadeusz Kowalski and priest Zygmunt Chełmicki, who acted on behalf of the committee and the seller, notary Mieczysław Halik. The property was bought back for 51,249 rubles and 59 kopecks. The estate consisted of a total of 515 acres, including: 240 acres of forest, 160 acres of arable land, 90 acres of meadows, a park, an orchard, etc. With the funds left over from the collection, inventory was purchased for the writer (60 cattle, 6 horses, and agricultural machinery and tools). For this occasion, the sculptor Pius Weloński made a bust of the writer from white marble. The manor house designed by the Warsaw architect Hugo Kuder was built in 1895, the area around the palace, 49 hectares of land[3], was designed and arranged by the Warsaw gardener Franciszek Szanior. The road to the palace leads through the Red Gate and then through the linden alley.

Strawczyn - this is the birthplace of the writer Stefan Żeromski. His birth certificate is preserved in the church. Near the Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, you can see a red sandstone obelisk commemorating Żeromski.

The palace was built in the years 1645–1650 by Jan Aleksander Tarło. It was very similar to the Kielce residence of the Kraków bishops. It remained in the Tarło family until 1842. It burned down in the mid-19th century. Since then, despite numerous attempts, its glory has not been restored. It is sad to look at 😟

It is worth crossing the low barbed wire at this point and looking from the slope to see the enormity of this quarry.
