Zwierzyniec is the northernmost town of the Roztocze National Park. The park comprises some of the last remaining sections of the primordial forest of Central Europe, with an especially spectacular stand of ancient beech trees (Bukowa Gora).
The Zwierzyniec settlement was established in the 16th century by the Zamoyski family.
Attractions in Zwierzyniec
One of the features here is an artificial lake with a number of small islands - one of them contains monuments of the hounds belonging to the Polish Queen Marysieńka Sobieska (primo voto Zamoyska). On another island the Zamoyskis built a baroque chapel, which later became the main church of the local Catholic parish. It is now known as the St John Nepomucene's parish church - renovated and expanded in early 1960s by father Dutkowski. The access to the chapel island is now via bridge.
Getting Around
The majority of sights can be visited on foot.
