Hotel
Chopin I found a hotel called Hotel Chopin as I was approaching the village of Brochow. I felt more excited to realize that I was being pretty close to the birthplace of Chopin. |

Kosciol
sw. Rocha, Brochow (St. Roch's Church, Brochow) This is St. Roch's Church in Brochow where Chopin's parents were married, and on April 23, 1810, Fryderyk Chopin was baptized here. I could imagine from the red brick fortifications of this church that this area had been attacked by enemies like other towns in Poland. There was a marsh or perhaps a pond behind the church. It was a nice and quiet village. |

Kosciol
sw. Rocha, Brochow (St. Roch's Church, Brochow) Unfortunately, I was unable to go inside the church on this day, although I could see an altar inside from a small opening. |
