Kozlowka
From Trip to Poland in Kozlowka, Poland on Jul 05 '07
The Kozlowka Palace is considered to be one of the most beautiful magnate residencies in Poland. Aleksander Zamoyski bought the Kozlowka region with its Baroque style palace, built in the years of 1735 to 1742, for the Zamoyski family in the year of 1799. Konstanty Zamoyski had the palace completely redesigned in the years of 1879 to 1907.
In the redesigns the elevations received a new shape, two towers were erected on both sides of the main palace body and the interior decorations were changed. Furthermore a chapel modelled on the royal one at Versailles, a theatre and several houses were added to the palace.
The palace, its park and its unique holdings have survived virtually intact up to the present day. The palace is still owned by the Zamoyski family and it is open to the public as a museum with guided tours.
