A Baroque and Neoclassical Zamoyski palace with preserved interiors, a landscape park and a striking gallery of Socialist Realist art. A longer trip from Warsaw into the Lublin region, worth the whole day.

Where to eat
In the area you will find Lublin-region cooking: pierogi, buckwheat with meat, soups and potato pancakes. Modest restaurants operate in Kozłówka itself, and Lubartów offers more choice. With your coffee, ask for home-baked cakes.
