Chopin


At the age of 14 and 15, Frédéric Chopin visited Szafarnia as the guest of Juliusz Dziewanowski, father of Chopin's schoolmate Dominik Dziewanowski.[2]

The manor where Chopin stayed during his 1824 and 1825 summer vacations, has been turned into a museum.[3]

It was here that young Chopin wrote his famous Kuriery Szafarskie (Szafarnia Couriers) spoofing the Warsaw newspapers.
