Henryk Sienkiewicz is one of the most famous Polish writers. And the best place to get to know his life and work is the Mansion in Oblęgorku.

Exquisitely valuable are the interiors of the palace, faithfully reproduced according to Sienkiewicz's children's memories and photographs.
In 1900 Henryk Sienkiewicz celebrated 25 years of creative work. On this occasion, a fortune was purchased from the social gathering in Oblęgorek near Kielce.
