A small village in the Łęczna poviat, near the mouth of the Bystrzyca to the Wieprz River, is extremely interesting. The palace and park complex is located on a hill with a beautiful view. The complex includes the ruins of a XVI century castle, a XVII century Baroque castle chapel designed by Tylman van Gameren himself, a storehouse from the middle of the XIX century, XVIII century baroque outbuilding, baroque entrance gate and the ruins of a classicist orangery from the mid XIX century.
There is a legend connected with this place. After King Jan III Sobieski's expedition to Vienna, Lublin castellan Jan Granowski returned to Zawieprzyce with the Turkish prisoners he was given in exchange for his battle achievements. Among the prisoners was a beautiful Greek girl, Theophania. Granowski strove for her favor for a long time, but to no avail. One of the other captives was her lover, and it was to him that her heart belonged. The jealous castellan, known for his cruelty, decided to punish the unfortunate couple by walling them up alive in a chamber. Since then, the place has not known peace and up to this day, when the new moon appears, one can meet two innocent souls walking among the ruins.
Another interesting piece of trivia is that Maria Skłodowska-Curie used to spent her holidays in Zawieprzyce, with her uncle Ksawery Skłodowski. This fact is commemorated by a plaque embedded in the building of the primary school of which she is the patron.
