An interesting monument commemorating Poles who died during the January Uprising of 1863—in this case, those killed in the Battle of Panasówka. Right on Biłgorajska Street, it's hard to miss.

A wonderful pond in the center of Zwierzyniec. The pond features islands—one is home to the Church on the Water of St. John of Nepomuk, and the other is home to a Roman sarcophagus-style monument. It's a wonderful place for a walk—it's worth taking a walk around the pond.

The Church of St. John of Nepomuk in Zwierzyniec is a charming Baroque church built on an island in 1741–1747 as a family chapel for the Zamoyski family. The characteristic bridge leading to the church and the picturesque location make this place a unique point on the map of Roztocze. The interior is decorated with polychrome by Łukasz Smuglewicz and paintings in the side chapels, including a painting of the coronation of the Virgin Mary attributed to him. The building is easily accessible by bike – it is worth stopping for a moment and looking inside.

On one of the islands there is the church of St. John of Nepomuk in Zwierzyniec, the so-called "church on the water". On the other island there is a monument in the shape of a Roman sarcophagus, and under it - according to tradition - the favorite dog of Marysieńka (then Zamoyska) was buried.

"Zwierzyńczyk" is known under its official name as: "Historic water and palace system in Zwierzyniec with tourist development". This is a park complex located behind the school in Zwierzyniec. The city managed to obtain funds from the European Union to modernize the park. And in this way, residents and tourists visiting the city can enjoy the beauty of subtle and charming alleys running among regulated water reservoirs.

The buildings of the Zamoyski Ordinance board, classicist, erected in the first half of the 19th century. Originally, they consisted of a wooden palace, four brick and two wooden outbuildings. Only the brick outbuildings have survived to this day, one of which was added in the second half of the 19th century. This is the so-called "administrative palace", currently the seat of the Jan Zamoyski Woodworking and Environmental Protection School Complex. It is worth paying attention to the plaque commemorating the establishment of the unified Polish Scouting Association in 1919 (until then divided into separate structures operating within the individual partitions). Behind the buildings are the remains of a historic linden alley, the so-called "Marysieńki alley".
