[edit] Chopin
A visitor to Szafarnia, in his early teens, was Frédéric Chopin, who was a guest of Juliusz Dziewanowski, father of Chopin's schoolmate Dominik Dziewanowski.[2] The manor where Chopin stayed during his summer vacations in 1824 and 1825, has been turned into a museum.[3] It was here that young Chopin wrote his famous Kuriery Szafarskie (Szafarnia Couriers) spoofing the Warsaw newspapers.
