Tadeusz Kościuszko Memorial Statue

Located right next to the Town Hall, the Memorial Statue is the place where most important patriotic ceremonies are held: the Constitution of 3rd of May ceremonies and the National Independence Day ceremonies, celebrated on the 11th of November. For many years the Memorial was simply called "the statue", since it was rebuilt, repurposed and relocated multiple times in the past. It could also be called the only "traveler statue" in existence, since most likely no other monument in history had switched places that many times.

St. Bartholomew Church

The most valuable landmarked building in Staszów. The first church built at its spot dated back to the 12th century; unfortunately, not a trace remains of that wooden church – it was burned down to the ground in 1214 by Tatar invaders. In years 1342 – 1343 a stone and brick, gothic church was built in its place, christened the St. Bartholomew church. Its construction was funded by then-heir of Staszów, Dorota Tarnowska.

Assumption of Mary and St. Augustine Church in Kurozwęki

Kurozwęki is a village located seven kilometers from Staszów. Records of its existence date back to the 13th century. The Assumption of Mary and St. Augustine Church is a particularly noteworthy building in Kurozwęki. Local parish was created in 1347. The church in its brick-and-stone form had already existed in the year 1470. Since 1487 it served as a parish church and as a temple for Canons Regular of the Lateran – the monks were brought to Kurozwęki from Kraków by Chancellor of Sandomierz and Treasurer of the Crown, Piotr of Kurozwęki. It was at that time that the church was expanded and a monastery built next to it. In 1827 the parish church and monastery were turned into a shelter for the elderly.

Kurozwęki Palace

This palace's history dates back to the 14th century, when Dobiesław of Kurozwęki built a wood-and-stone brick castle here as the new home for his family. The castle was initially a stronghold and served a defensive purpose. It was also one of the very first brick castles built in Poland. Centuries have shaped the palace into its current form. We can admire its interesting shape and an excellent combination of its oldest Gothic fragments with later additions. Both the palace interior and its cellars can be visited by tourists who can explore them with guides. The palace's owners can also organize various events, such as medieval tournament re-enactments, artillery shows and medieval-styled dance fairs.
