Audio Guide of the Stary Dom Cemetery

Stary Dom Cemetery is open every day from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM (hours may vary slightly by season). Access is from Krakowska Street in Kielce. For public transport, use bus lines 4, 24, or 25 ("Cmentarz Stary" stop). Check updates on the municipal website.

Admission is completely free. Only some specialized guided tours have a fee (we recommend contacting Kielce City Hall: +48 41 367 61 00).

Between 60 and 90 minutes is enough to appreciate its main monuments. If you are interested in history or photography, you can spend up to 2 hours exploring the gravestones in detail.

Founded in 1801, it is the oldest cemetery in Kielce. It contains the graves of key figures from the region, such as Stefan Żeromski (writer), and displays 19th-century funerary sculptures that are works of art in their own right.

Spring and autumn are ideal because of the mild weather and foliage. Avoid rainy days, as the paths can be slippery. Early morning offers more peace and better light for photographs.

It has dirt and gravel paths with uneven surfaces. There are no specific ramps. We recommend assistance for wheelchair users. Contact City Hall (+48 41 367 61 00) for details on accessibility.
