In 1900, on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of his literary work, the Polish society organized a fundraiser for the future Nobel Prize winner and funded it in gratitude for his work. On this occasion, a civic committee was formed to prepare a program for the jubilee celebrations.
The notarial deed was signed in Kielce on July 18, 1900 in the presence of counselor Tadeusz Kowalski and priest Zygmunt Chełmicki, who acted on behalf of the committee and the seller, the notary Mieczysław Halik. The property was bought back for 51,249 rubles and 59 kopecks. The estate consisted of a total of 515 acres, including: 240 acres of forest, 160 acres of arable land, 90 acres of meadows, a park, an orchard, etc. With the funds remaining after the purchase of the property, the funds from the collection were purchased for the writer (60 cattle, 6 horses, and agricultural machinery and tools).
For this occasion, the sculptor Pius Weloński made a bust of the writer from white marble. The manor house designed by the Warsaw architect Hugo Kuder was built in 1895, the area around the palace, 49 hectares of land[3], was designed and arranged by the Warsaw gardener Franciszek Szanior. The road to the palace leads through the Red Gate and then through the linden alley.
