Chopin's Birthplace & Concert Venue - Pianist Denis Linnik Autograph

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Żelazowa Wola is a village in Sochaczew County, Masovian Voivodeship, in east-central Poland. It lies on the Utrata River, some 8 km northeast of Sochaczew and 46 km west of Warsaw.

The name means "Iron will" in Polish. The village is the birthplace of the Polish pianist and composer Frédéric Chopin. It is known for its picturesque Masovian landscape, including numerous winding streams surrounded by willows and hills.

Housed in an annex to the Chopin's home, surrounded by a park, is a museum devoted to the composer. In summer, concerts of his music are performed by pianists from all over the world, who play inside the family home for an outside audience. In an adjacent park is a monument to the pianist, designed by Józef Gosławski.
The Scotch Mist Gallery contains many photographs of historic buildings, monuments and memorials of Poland.
