    The Tarnowski Palace and Garden Complex in Końskie is one of the most interesting in Poland. It is located in the very center of the city and covers an area of approximately 15 ha. The park is under the care of the Provincial Conservator of Monuments. In 1972, it was entered into the register of monuments of the province.

    We owe the establishment of the park to the wife of the Grand Chancellor of the Crown Jan Małachowski, Izabela. She began arranging the park after the Chancellor's death in 1762. Initially, the park occupied a small area on a rectangular plan along the main axis of the palace complex, in the north-south direction. It had the character of a French, eighteenth-century garden. A canal with a bridge on the main axis ran through the park.

      The City Park (Polish: Park Miejski) is a 21.5 hectare park in the center of the Upper Silesian city of Tarnowskie Góry. The oldest part of the park was created in 1903. The City Park is considered one of the earliest examples of the recultivation of old mining areas and is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Tarnowskie Góry Silver Mine. The park has around 50 different tree species and ten shrub species. The park is surrounded by the Old Cemetery and the New Cemetery.

        The city park was created on the initiative of the Catholic priest of Tarnowitz Franz Kokott († 1908) and the mayor of Tarnowitz Richard Otte and was laid out in 1903. The acquired area was heavily influenced by mining and quarrying from the 19th century and was criss-crossed by slag heaps.[1] It was designed according to the plans of the gardener P. Bernert.[2]

        The entrance to the park is surrounded by a group of boulders. The largest boulder is a natural monument. One of the boulders has a plaque. Originally it was inscribed with a German verse by Hildebrandt from Tarnowitz, but in 1925 this was replaced by a verse by Jan Nowak. The German verse read: "For every foot is every walk, for every weary person every bench, for every eye the flowers are a bloom, the birds' song for every ear, the free air of God for all and for the thirsty the seltzer hall, but leave everything in its place, keep your hands away from trees and bushes".
