palace
The palace in Kozłówka is one of the most magnificent late Baroque aristocratic residences in Poland and ranks among the best-preserved historical monuments in the country. Built in the first half of the 18th century, it was later lavishly remodeled in the Second Empire style by the aristocratic Zamoyski family. The most remarkable feature of Kozłówka is the authentic preservation of its luxurious interiors, which encompass an impressive collection of paintings, furniture, and mirrors. A fascinating and contrasting addition to the estate is the unique Gallery of Socialist Realism Art, housed in the former coach house, which displays propaganda art from Poland's communist era. Surrounded by a beautiful French-style garden, the palace complex provides an extraordinary journey through different eras of Polish history.
