Description

The subject of the project is the reconstruction and extension of, as well as addition of upper storeys to the historic building of the Stefan Żeromski Theatre in Kielce (the “Theatre”). The building has been operating as the Theatre continuously since 1879 and is
one of the oldest theatre stages in Poland. 
The Theatre has been listed in the register of monuments since April 9, 1972, initially under No. 730 A, and from September 21, 2009 under No. A 378 of the Register of Świętokrzyskie Province. 
The historical structure (an authentic 19th-century theatre) requires renovation, restoration, and modernization due to its poor technical and aesthetic condition, non-compliance with the fire requirements, as well as the need to ensure optimal conditions
for the safe use of the structure, access to culture, and increasing the use of the cultural potential of the province.
The main objective of the project is to increase access to culture and improve the quality of cultural offer by rebuilding the historic structure of the Theatre. This objective will also be achieved thanks to the implementation of soft measures that make
the revival of a cultural heritage site possible.
The total expenditure of the project is PLN 21 858 044,05. Eligible costs are PLN 18 119 459.03, while ineligible costs (VAT) PLN
3 738 585.02. The project is not implemented with public aid.
The project includes the following activities:
• construction works,
• purchase of equipment,
• project management,
• promotion,
• cultural offer,
• training.
