At the turn of the nineteenth century Konstanty Zamoyski (1846-1923), a member of a distinguished aristocratic family, had the eighteenth-century, Baroque palace and park in Kozlowka redesigned to produce a large assembly consisting of the palace building, a chapel modelled on the royal one at Versailles, a theatre, two outhouses and two guardhouses, a stable and a coach house. The middle part of the park, boasting a fountain copied from the one at Versailles, is French in style, while the other two parts have the appearance of an Italian and a forest garden respectively. The splendidly decorated palace interiors, featuring a marble staircase and fireplaces, stoves made of Meissen tiles, two-coloured parquet floors, Oriental carpets and mirrors in sculpted and gilded frames, contain Zamoyski's immense collection of approximately 1,000 paintings, mostly copies commissioned at the Louvre and at Italian and Dresden galleries. The holdings include not only works of art, but also other items collected by Zamoyski, notably some 4,000 organiola and pianola rolls. The several thousand strong collection of photographs features the images of all Polish aristocracy as well as of emperors, kings and princes to have ruled Europe in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. These unique holdings as well as the palace and the park have survived almost intact up to the present day and are open to the public.
