Tadeusz Kościuszko Monument in Kielce

Right next to the building of the Kielce Cultural Center there is an inconspicuous obelisk commemorating important events from over 220 years ago. A monument dedicated to Tadeusz Kościuszko was placed here on October 28, 1917, on the hundredth anniversary of the military's death.

The location of the monument is not accidental. In this place, on June 9-10, 1974, the corps commanded by Kościuszko camped after the lost Battle of Szczekociny. Kościuszko himself, together with his staff, stayed in the so-called House of the Voit at the Market Square, which is also commemorated by a commemorative plaque.
