 Zamoyski palace in Kozlowka by gosiaPL
It was made into a 'temple' of the Polish culture & heritage by one of the Zamoyskis; he gathered a whole collection of portraits, paintings and what-nots. The palace is one of the best preserved magnate residences as it was spared during WWII. It's all now available to see: the residence is now a museum with guided tours.
For contrast, the museum also has a vast collection of socialistic art such as monuments of Stalin ort Lenin that were taken down all over Poland in 1989 and were brought to Kozlowka to form a unique "skansen of socialistic art". Now that's a kick to see all that crap art after the fall of communism! :-)
The museum has so much more! Check their website for details.
Kozlowka is only 7km (over 4m) west of Lubartow. So from Lublin you can go to Lubartow first, and then change your bus to get to Kozlowka. Leave a Comment

It is in 1/3 Jezuicka St. and that's easy to find: enter the Old Town through the Cracow Gate and you'll see it on the first corner to your right. Leave a Comment Phone: (081) 535 44 12Other Contact: itlublin@onet.pl

 Zamosc, the Renaissance pearl by gosiaPL
Its layout with the 120 monuments of architecture has been enlisted by UNESCO as an example of World Heritage.
The town was founded in late 16th c. by Jan Zamoyski, the great chancellor and crown marshall (hetman) of Poland. It was designed to be a "citta ideale" by an Italian architect, Bernardo Morando, and perhaps that is why Zamosc is often compared to towns in Tuscany (well, in fact the whole region is called "the Polish Tuscany" for its landscapes).
It is a must! Check some samples of Zamosc architecture in the town's picture gallery.
Zamosc is about 90km (less than 60m) south-east from Lublin, easy to get to by train. Leave a Comment

 Sanguszko palace in Lubartow by gosiaPL
And I didn't know Lubartow, this tiny town in eastern Poland, was a pretty 'international' place as early as 15th century! It had settlers arriving from Germany, the Netherlands and France. And in the 16th century it was a calvinism centre in the Reformation era.
If you like old architecture, you're gonna find Lubartow interesting just as well as the palace. The town is only 25km (16m) north of Lublin and you can get there by bus (goes every 15-20 minutes). Leave a Comment

 Sybilla temple in Pulawy by gosiaPL
The palace is surrounded by a vast romantic park with some cute examples of architecture . One of them is the Sybilla temple (see the picture) that imitates that of Vest in Tivoli, Italy. Two other ones are the Gothic House and the little palace that was built for Marynka, Czartoryski's daughter. It's really a pleasure to take a relaxing stroll in the park while touring all the pieces of nice architecture there. But choose rather a nice day as this is an outdoor experience.
You can get to Pulawy by train or bus, it's only about 50 km (32m) north-west of Lublin.
And while you're there, you have only 15 km (9m) south of Pulawy to get to the lovely old town of Kazimierz Dolny :-)) It makes sense to do the two within one day! Leave a Comment

 The town of Kazimierz Dolny by gosiaPL
You'll find examples of some fine renaissance architecture there, as well as ruins of a mediaeval castle with a relatively well preserved tower. It also has many art galleries and in the summer numerous artists display their works in the town's square. The town is situated in the Vistula valley and the surrounding hills offer fantastic views. In short: it's all very picturesque and that's why the town is one of the most popular weekend destinations in Poland .
To read more about it, pop into my travelpage on Kazimierz Dolny.
You need to take a bus or train to Pulawy first, which is 50 km (32m) north-west of Lublin.
Then you have various options to get to Kazimierz which is only 15 km (9m) south of Pulawy.
