Kozłówka Palace is in Kozłówka, in the Lublin Voivodeship of eastern Poland. Michał Bieliński, voivode of Chełmno, commissioned it from Józef Fontana, and it was built between 1735 and 1742. The Zamoyski family acquired it in 1799 and held it until 1944.
From 1879 to 1907 the palace was rebuilt in the Neo-Baroque style, with a modified chapel, a theater and a new gate. A sewer system from the turn of the 20th century gave the owners some of Europe's earliest modern bathrooms. The chapel was modeled on the one at Versailles.
Today the palace houses the Zamoyski Family Museum, and it was designated a Historic Monument of Poland in 2007. It also holds the Gallery of Socrealism, with over 1,600 communist-era works.
