Żelazowa Wola, Birthplace village of composer Chopin in Masovian Voivodeship, Poland.
The village contains a renovated manor house surrounded by a 17-acre park along the Utrata River, where classical music fills the gardens during performances.
The first documentation of Żelazowa Wola appears in 1579, mentioning Mikołaj and Piotr Żelazo as landowners before the property transferred to the Skarbek family.
The Chopin House Museum displays period furniture, manuscripts, and personal items, offering regular piano concerts from May through September in the surrounding gardens.
Visitors can reach the village by taking a direct bus from Warsaw, with the journey lasting approximately one hour and services running multiple times daily.
