Presently the only wooden (larch) manor house in Kielce from the XVIII century, hosting temporary expositions. Next to it, there is the office for the director of the Kielce Village Museum.
This manor house is located on the southern slope of Castle Hill behind a wooden fence with shingles on top. It is the last wooden object of this type within the city. The house was erected in the 18th centuryn by Jakub Jaworski, the last starosta of Kielce. In 1988, it became the Kielce Region Countryside Museum’s headquarters and exhibition space. Originally, the complex consisted of the manor house and outbuildings. According to archived sources from 1838 and 1848, the wooden, single-storey building of the manor house was built using larch wood, with an underpinning of fired brick and stone with lime mortar. Two stone storehouses were added to the wooden part from the side of the garden. The house was topped with a high hipped mansard roof covered with a single layer of shingles. In the front, it had a porch through which you passed into a dark hallway. Currently, the administrative areas are located at the rear of the property, and the interior of the house serves for exhibition purposes.
