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.

A monument-tribute to the inhabitants of Zwierzyniec who gave their lives in defense of their homeland.

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".

The Zwierzyniec Brewery is a historic brewery from the early 19th century located in Zwierzyniec. The owner of the plant is the State Treasury, and the lessee – Perła – Browary Lubelskie. The brewery in Zwierzyniec was founded as part of the Zamoyski Family Fee Tariff by Stanisław Kostka Zamoyski at the beginning of the 19th century. The first buildings, which included a single-storey brewing plant, cellars, warehouses, a cooperage and a coach house, were built in 1805–1806 on the site of the former Zamoyski residence. The masonry work was supervised by master Grzegorz Szostakiewicz, and the Scottish brewer John McDonald was responsible for starting beer production. In 1806–1810, English porter-type beer was brewed there. In 1810, the brewery burned down. However, it was quickly rebuilt from the destruction. In 1834–1836, it was expanded and modernized. At that time, it was equipped with a steam engine, and a mill for grinding malt was set up in the new wing. From the 1840s, the plant was leased by the Zamość Estate. In the years 1866–1878, it suspended operations. Most of its equipment was sold. In 1878, after another expansion and the purchase of new equipment, it was reopened.
