Muzeum Zamoyskich w Kozłówce — Attraction in gmina Kamionka

The Zamoyski Palace in Kozłówka is a treasure trove of history and art. Built in 1742 and later owned by the Zamoyski family, the palace underwent significant renovations by Konstanty Zamoyski between 1897 and 1914. The interiors boast authentic furnishings from the late 19th and early 20th centuries in the Second Empire style.

The Red Salon, White Salon, and Countess's Bedroom are particularly impressive. Beautiful Tiled Stoves: The palace features ornate tile stoves for year-round comfort, adding to the aesthetic appeal. Painting Gallery: Adorning the palace walls are around 460 paintings, depicting crucial moments in Polish history and family portraits.

Beautifully maintained palace in an often ignored area of Poland, the wonderful Lublin area. The estate's grounds & gardens are so inviting you'll have no trouble convincing family members of all ages to make a day of it just relaxing in the sun so pack a picnic, just bring enough to share for the peacocks (kids love them). Helpful tip if you are challenged linguistically. Read up on the history online before the tour and just enjoy the beauty of the rooms or pay the extra złoty for the English audio book. The tour guides really hurry you through each room due to all the group schedules. As such, there is very little wiggle room for translation time while simultaneously fighting to hear over the museums louder pa system, tour guide, etc. I personally enjoyed myself more using my limited Polish, reading beforehand, plus I made friends with the Polish people in the group; they always seem excited to practice their English with someone interested in the history of their country so my advice, skip the audio book and meet some...

We went here on a hot Sunday. It was overcrowded and totally booked out, but also it had no information noticeable regarding the limited tickets available per hour. We enjoyed the gardens but the space was limited. Lovely old buildings waiting for renovation which would make a lovely restaurant, instead of the big tent which is the only place to eat anything. A week or two later, we tried to book on a Tues for a Wednesday, but could not get through on the phone, it was either engaged or they didn't answer. There was still no information available that it might be booked out or that the restrictions were so strong. When we arrived the lady at the desk was very rude to my Polish mother in law, giving no information and being unfriendly. Getting out of the car park was another joke, cars lined up queuing for the barrier, while the security guard looked on! His help would have cut the waiting time in half, the barrier slowed everything down. All in all, bad organisation and disrespect shown to clients.. It doesn't encourage...
