The origins of the church and the parish of St Adalbert in Kielce

Our findings on the origins of St Adalbert Church in Kielce are mostly working hypotheses.. The article presents research findings concerning the origins of the oldest church in Kielce dedicated to St Adalbert, founded probably during the reign of Boleslaus the Wrymouth. The applied method of retrospection as well as a broad perception of the beginnings of the territorial organisation of the Kraków church in the area of the Łysogóry allows for making the assumption on the seniority of this church centre in the area of today’s Kielce and on its significance for the development of this settlement centre.
