The ruins are the remains of a once large industrial plant of the Zamość estate built in the 18th century. In the years of the Duchy of Warsaw and the Kingdom of Poland, the plant was leased by Lejbuś Kahan, and then Cała Wax - the owner of the Hebrew printing house in Józefów. In the 1830s, approximately 4,000 reams of paper were produced here, which constituted 80% of the total production in the Lublin Governorate. Over 9 types of paper, including wrapping, printing, office and stamp paper. Paper was made by hand, mainly from rags. An interesting fact is that it contained a watermark - the lord's monogram or the Zamoyski family's coat of arms. It is one of the largest plants in the Kingdom of Poland. He used the power of the Sopot River flowing down. The collapse of the paper mill was directly caused by floods in 1849 and 1870 and a fire in 1883, after which the reconstruction of the plant became unprofitable due to the enormous damage.

The quarry in Nowiny, located on the south-eastern slope of Krzyżowa Góra near the village of Nowiny, is a picturesque and extensive rock recess hidden in a pine forest, approximately 200 meters from the Susiec-Józefów road. Although it is currently closed, its two-hundred-meter-high walls allow you to take a closer look at the geological structure of Roztocze. From their top there is a panorama of the Solska Forest. The quarry was the site of Miocene limestone exploitation for many years. A characteristic feature of this place are numerous small shells, easily removed from the fragile stone.
