A capital of the Roztocze Region with the seat of the management and the Educational Centre and Museum of the Roztocze National Park. It is a perfect starting point of numerous tourist routes. In the past Zwierzyniec was an important centre of forestry and hunting in the Zamoyski Estate. The most interesting historic sights are the Classicist buildings of the Zamoyski Estate Management from the first half of the 19th c. including the palace, a brewery and a coach factory, and a late-Baroque Church of St. John of Nepomuk with illusionistic polychromes by Ł. Smuglewicz, built in the years 1741-47. In the local park lies a boulder from Hamernia commemorating the 1711 plague of locusts. There are also two swimming areas near Zwierzyniec – the Rudka reservoir and the Echo Ponds.
