Main image

Kozłówka Palace is an aristocratic palace complex in Kozłówka, Lublin Voivodeship, Poland, originally constructed as a noble residence in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The complex today functions as a museum preserving original interiors and estate grounds.

The main palace presents richly furnished period rooms and decorative interiors from the 18th and 19th centuries. The estate also includes a formal park with garden layouts, avenues and ornamental features.

A distinct component of the site is a public display of 20th-century socialist realism art and related artifacts, one of the more notable such collections in Poland, exhibited within the palace complex.

Built as a noble family residence and expanded over time, the complex was converted after World War II for public use and museum display; original interiors and many furnishings have been preserved. The palace and grounds reflect successive architectural and landscaping phases from the late 18th century onwards.

Located in the village of Kozłówka in Lublin Voivodeship in eastern Poland, the estate sits within a rural landscape and is administered as a museum and public heritage site.
