The equine school, so-called „rajsztula”, leased to Tomasz Zieliński, was transformed in 1847 into a residential building for patrons of the arts and lovers of antiquity.

A romantic palace and garden complex surrounded by a wall with an interesting bastion called “Yenta”. Nowadays there is a Creative Environments House and a cafe.The  current buildings of the palace were constructed based on the 18th century farm buildings which belonged to the Kraków bishops. 

In the 19th century, the property was  leased by Tomasz Zieliński, administrative official of the District of Kielce, and in private – an art collector and patron of artists. Within a few years, the new tenant  transformed the property into a romantic palace  and garden complex. Since 1985, the palace has been home to Dom Środowisk Twórczych (the House of Creative Communities) – an institution that organises concerts, exhibitions, meetings and other art-related events.

On top of stylish interiors, the palace also has a concert hall and a  charming restaurant. The so-called Dom Praczki (literally, the House of the Washerwoman) is a vital part of the complex, as it houses the Museum of Sacred Art.
