Zamoyski Museum in Kozłówka
The Palace:
One of the finest and most popular residential museums in Poland. Erected around 1742 for the
Bieliński family, after the design by Józef Fontana, the palace has been owned by the Zamoyski
family since 1799. Redeveloped 1897–1914 by Konstanty Zamoyski, it has preserved its original
Second-Empire-style décor from the late 19th and early years of 20th century.
The Chapel:
Built in 1903–1909, this chapel was designed after the royal chapel of the Versailles – with its
stuccoworks, the colonnade, the altar and the organ front copied from the model.
The Gardens:
Next to the palace is an French garden and a pheasantry. The garden has preserved its original
layout till today.
Socialist-Realist Art Gallery
The northern pavilion (formerly, the Coach-house) is home to Poland’s only Socialist-Realist Art
Gallery – a project unknown to any other European country. This very unique display is a politicaldidactic-artistic venture as it warns, through its carefully selected exhibits, against any
manifestations of art controlled by totalitarian authorities.
On display are the most interesting works out of the Museum-stored great collection of art of the
period 1950–1955, with more than 1,600 sculptures, paintings, drawings, prints and posters.
The Gallery offers you an opportunity to watch Polish Film Chronicles from 1950s.
The Palace in Kozłówka took honorable first place on the list of "7 New Wonders of the Poland"
and won the plebiscite "Poland is the coolest" organized by National Geographic Traveler
magazine.

Kazimierdz Dolny
This little historic town in Poland is known both in Poland and abroad as a great weekend getaway.
With its pre-war, precommunist charm, visitors can experience a Poland lost in time. Kazimierz is
popular with Poles and tourists alike.
Kazimierz Dolny is located on the Lublin Plateau, right on the banks of the river Vistula. The Vistula
is Poland's largest river. Along its banks are various preserved habitats for water fowel and rare
species of plants.
Besides the cobblestone streets and historic villas, visitors to Kazimierz Dolny can look forward to
panoramic views of the countryside, the ruins of a castle, and the Hill of Three Crosses. A wall
made from the recovered Jewish tombstones shattered by Nazis presents a reminder of darker
times.
Guests will be delighted with the diversity of events that take place in Kazimierz Dolny.
Performances of folk singers, concerts at the Parish Church, arts, films, and song festivals are
organized throughout the year.
Kazimierz Dolny is an art center in Poland. Many painters retreat to this small town to paint and sell
their work. Galleries can be found in almost every street, offering for sale sculptures, stained-glass,
and fine-art paintings. In the market, folk art is for sale at unbeatable prices.
