Żelazowa Wola

Brochów

A fortified church. The current outlook church gained after the reconstruction in 1665. The church was built of red brick and is one of the most valuable example of  ‘defensive’ architecture in Poland. Here Frederic’s parents – Nicholas Chopin and Tekla Justyna Krzyżanowska got married and Frederic himself was baptized.

Just next to the Market Square there is the Cathedral from 17th century and the Lowicz Museum presenting a rich collection of wooden sculptures, colorful costumes and paper cuts.
