After that he started travelling around Europe to improve his musical ability. He stayed in USA for some time, where became a very popular pianist - and has a star in the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In 1899 he got married again and settled in Switzerland. His wife, Baroness Helena de Rosen, was one of the originators of the Polish Red Cross and the Chair of the organisation in 1919.

Apart from being a musical genius, Paderewski was also an independent and political activist. On 16th January 1919 he became the Prime Minister of Poland. When WWII started, he joined the Polish Government on Emigration.

He died 29th June 1941 in New York and his remains were moved to Poland 29th September 1992. He was decorated posthumously with Poland's highest military decoration, the Virtuti Militari.



The manor:

The manor in Kasna Dolna was built in 1833 by the owner of this village, Pawel Gostowski. In 1897 it was bought by Paderewski. He renovated the manor and upgraded it with waterworks and sewerage. An electric power turbine was built as well and, a thanks to that, lighting was installed in the manor and all the farmstead. A phone was installed as well. The park surrounding the manor was designed in the English style.

Ultimately, Paderewski decide not to stay in Kasna. In 1903 the manor was sold and changed owners several times; finally it was nationalized in 1945. In 1983 the manor was taken over by the Music Company of Tarnów, who started organizing concerts of classical music in the premises. In 1990 the Centre of Paderewski was established there to organize concerts and exhibitions. Presently, the manor and the garden are very well kept and really worth visiting.
