Pałac Tomasza Zielińskiego, Kielce

Tomasz Zielinski Palace - a historic building in the center of Kielce located next to the Cracow Bishops' Palace on Zamkowa Street. The interior of the palace includes over a dozen rooms, such as: Concert Hall, Club Hall, Portrait Hall, café, library, two towers, orangery. The palace is surrounded by a garden, where there is a well with a roof, a commemorative column, and in summer there is a cafe under umbrellas. The whole is surrounded by a wall of different heights with shooting holes. On the wall there is a small tower called "Gossip Girl".

The palace owes its name to Tomasz Zielinski, who in 1847-1858 leased the building from the government and transformed it into a palace-garden complex. During his stay there, he arranged a museum and a center of patronage of artists in the palace, where he hosted famous painters: Józef Szermentowski, January Suchodolski, Wojciech Gerson and Franciszek Kostrzewski. Since 1985, it has been the seat of the House of Creative Environments, which organizes exhibitions, concerts and meetings with people of art, science and politics.

The historic palace complex, entered in the register of immovable monuments, apart from the palace includes: an outbuilding built between 1848-1856, an orangery from the years 1851-1856, a fence, a wall with a gate and a "Plotter" tower from the years 1850-1856, and an eighteenth-century garden rebuilt in 1854.
