Zelazowa Wola Tour – The Birthplace of Chopin
From 170 EUR / 189 USD
Zelazowa Wola. Manor house from the early nineteenth century, where Frederic Chopin was born.
His family lived permanently in the left side of the mansion, the remaining part of the building was occupied by a family of Count Skarbek – in which Chopin’s parents worked. Probably the living conditions were very heavy.
In the Chopin family rooms was not even wood floors, just a hard earthen floor.
The owner of the property had so lavish lifestyle that soon gave up all his belongings and fled from creditors to Paris, leaving his wife with children in Poland.
Concerned about the future, Chopin family moved to Warsaw.
Manor house in Zelazowa Wola slowly deteriorated and for over 100 years in chambers pickled cabbage, kept pigs and chickens, until 1928, when the manor bought Chopin Committee and adapted inside a museum of the composer.
Today’s reconstruction of the house and the surrounding manor is a vision and imagination on the Polish manor house of the nineteenth century.
Zelazowa Wola. Chopin Monuments . In Warsaw – in Lazienki Park, in 76 acres is only one monument of Chopin. However, in the park in Zelazowa Wola in 4 acres located 5 Chopin monuments. This means that approximately every 80 meters we trip over the obelisk.
From the oldest (nineteenth century), founded by in love with the music of Chopin – a Russian, also a pianist. And then you have to watch out for sandstone bust of the composer put on the occasion of 119 anniversary of his death. Acknowledging the 120 anniversary of his death is as important as the 119 – erected another monument of bronze.
After several years Germans reminded about the museum. During the war, they stole all exhibits, paintings and piano – but instead of that, they founded in 1984 a bronze bust.
A few years later, in another impulse of lofty feelings – the inhabitants of Munich, gave the museum a wooden image of Chopin.
This wooden statue was used to perform the proper monument cast in bronze in Germany.
Typically, after created by the cast, wooden original is destroyed.
This time Zelazowa Wola was endowed by it.
