Chopin[edit]
At the age of 14 and 15, Frédéric Chopin visited Szafarnia as the guest of Polish nobleman Juliusz Dziewanowski, father of Chopin's schoolmate Dominik Dziewanowski. Chopin's father was a tutor to the Dziewanowski family and Juliusz was the godfather to Chopin's sister. The families maintained warm relations past Frédéric's death[2]
The manor where Chopin stayed during his 1824 and 1825 summer vacations, has been turned into a museum.[3]
