Fryderyk Franciszek Chopin – the most outstanding Polish composer and pianist was born in the village of Żelazowa Wola in the district of Sochaczew. The composer and his family held his date of birth to be 1 March 1810, yet the certificate of baptism signed in the parish church of Brochów is dated on 22 February. That discrepancy has still not been entirely resolved, although today it is the date celebrated by Chopin and his family that is more often used… If you want to learn more about Fryderyk’s life choose our Chopin Tour.
More details about this tour
Here is a break down of all the activities in the tour:From the turn of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the estate of ‘Żelazowa Wola and Orły with adjoining properties’ belonged to the Skarbek family. Here lived Ludwika Skarbek with her children: Fryderyk, Anastazy-Teodor, Michał, Anna and Kazimierz. Żelazowa Wola was probably the place where Chopin’s parents first met: Justyna, née Krzyżanowska, was the housekeeper and Mikołaj Chopin, an immigrant from France, was tutor to the children.
After their wedding, the Chopins lived in the left annexe of the walled manor house, and there, on 1 March 1810, Fryderyk Chopin entered the world. His sisters, the elder Ludwika Marianna and his two younger siblings, Justyna Izabela (known as Izabela) and Emilia, were born in Warsaw. Fryderyk’s childhood was not, however, associated with Żelazowa Wola, since in the autumn of 1810 the Chopin family moved to Warsaw for good. In later years, the Chopins would visit the Skarbeks at Żelazowa Wola, mainly during the summer or on religious holidays.
