Chopin
A visitor to Szafarnia, aged 14 and 15, was Frédéric Chopin, who was a guest of Juliusz Dziewanowski, father of Chopin's schoolmate Dominik Dziewanowski.
The manor where Chopin stayed during his 1824 and 1825 summer vacations, has been turned into a museum.
It was here that young Chopin wrote his famous Kuriery Szafarskie (Szafarnia Couriers) spoofing the Warsaw newspapers.
