Abstract

The garden complex of the Zamoyski Family Entail (Ordynacja Zamoyska) in Zwierzyniec, founded by Jan Zamoyski, is an example of a hunting garden transformed into a Baroque, one-axis garden layout and later into a romantic garden. The aim of the article is to analyse the influence of the 18th-century models of Polish and foreign garden art and their realisations that contributed to the way of shaping the landscape of the garden. The paper describes the subsequent stages of the creation of the Zamoyski villa complex as well as modern restoration activities aimed at reconstructing the historical water system. The author made an attempt to systematise the existing knowledge on the transformations of the Zwierzyniec’s garden, its historical substance being a starting point for later interventions of the Entailers adapting the garden to the newest trends in the shaping of residential parks at that time.
