Czarnolas
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Czarnolas (Polish for "Blackwoods") is a village in Poland's present-day Mazowsze Province (Zwoleń County), on the Radom Plain. In 1975-98, Czarnolas was part of Radom Province.
Czarnolas is famous as the residence of the Polish Renaissance poet, Jan Kochanowski.
The village belonged to the Kochanowski family for a century, then frequently changed owners. In 1830, on the site of the poet's manor house, which had burned down, a Neogothic chapel was erected. In 1961, in the Jabłonowski family's 19th-century manor house, within a picturesque garden, was established the Jan Kochanowski Museum, before which stands a statue of the poet by M. Welter.
