Manor housesManor houses, the family seats of the Polish gentry, have always been furnished with objects of art and rare books. Intellectual aspirations of their residents have left an indelible mark on Polish culture. One such house is the small country house at Zelazowa Wola where Frederick Chopin was born. The composer’s famous polonaises and mazurkas were named after the old Polish dances played for the opening and closing of society balls. |
