Ⅵ.History and Culture
-The exact date of the foundation of Kielce is difficult to determine. Archaeological research indicates that the town was started by a small settlement that had existed here much earlier, which developed as a place of trade exchange. Hunters and beekeepers living in the Świętokrzyskie Forest exchanged the fruits of their labor for grain and other goods. The industrial traditions of Kielce also go back to ancient times. They were still a hard-to-reach forest settlement in the forests of the Świętokrzyskie Foothills, when the ore was already smelted here.
-In the 10th century , the church of St. Wojciech. At the turn of the 10th and 11th centuries, the bishops of Kraków became the owners of the settlement along with a significant area of the Świętokrzyskie Mountains, who Palace of the Krakow Bishopsbuilt a collegiate church on the hill, now called the castle dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary. The Polish historian, Jan Długosz, noted "Bishop Gedeon of Krakow, wanting to extend the honor of God righteous in his diocese, built the city of Kielce in the vast forests of the time, uninhabited by people, and erected a refined and ornamental church of hewn stone". The work was completed in 1171 and this is the first certain date in the history of Kielce. Bishop Wincenty Kadłubekhe moved the parish here from the church of St. Adalbert, and then with a document from 1213, he took the canonical prebend from Kij and established it in Kyelciam. There were 4 prelates and 6 canons connected with the collegiate church, endowed with prebends in the form of nearby villages. The economic life of Kielce revived significantly, fairs, indulgences and fairs were held here. In 1229, a parish nursery was established at the collegiate church, among the pupils of which was a famous historian - Wincenty from Kielce . The great development was stopped in the middle of the 13th century by the Tatar invasions and the struggle for the throne between Konrad Mazowiecki and Bolesław the Chaste. However, the destruction and looting did not lead to the collapse of the settlement, which quickly returned to its previous state, enriching with fortifications around the church on the castle hill.
-Kielce Market SquareNo privilege or location document for Kielce has survived. Its role was played by the privilege of Leszek the White of 1227, which allowed the establishment of settlements under German law. In 1295, the Czech King Wenceslaus II gave permission to Bishop Muscat to surround "market places" with walls and moats: Sławków, Iłża, Shield and Kielce. This document confirms the importance of Kielce as a center of the local market, and since the remaining centers were already cities under German law, it is assumed that Kielce was already a city at the end of the 13th century. An important part of the location privilege was the separation of the city from the scope of land law and its transfer to German law. Bishop Bodzanta, reorganizing the administration of the properties of Krakow rulers, transferred Kielce to the Magdeburg municipal lawin the mid- fourteenth century . For the first time, the term civitas (city) Kielce was defined in 1359. At the turn of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, about 300 people lived here, mainly farmers.
