Kopaszewo
Kopaszewo [kɔpaˈʂɛvɔ] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Krzywiń, within Kościan County, Greater Poland Voivodeship, in west-central Poland.[1] It lies approximately 4 kilometres (2 mi) north of Krzywiń, 14 km (9 mi) south-east of Kościan, and 46 km (29 mi) south of the regional capital Poznań. HistoryKopaszewo was a private village of Polish nobility, administratively located in the Kościan County in the Poznań Voivodeship in the Greater Poland Province of the Kingdom of Poland.[2] The local palace was visited several times by poet Adam Mickiewicz in 1831–1832, and by actress Helena Modjeska in 1868. In the mid-19th century, the estate was purchased by Dezydery Chłapowski.[3] Chłapowski established sections planted with trees for protection from the wind, and established a park with a variety of tree species, both typical for Poland, such as large-leaved lindens, maples and ash trees, as well as more exotic species, such as honey locusts, European smoketrees, chestnut trees and London planes.[3] Other plants are also found in the area. Beekeeping soon developed, and Kopaszewo became a center for the production of various types of honey, now designated a local traditional food.[3] CuisineThe officially protected traditional food of Kopaszewo as designated by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development of Poland, is the Kopaszewo Honey, which comes in several varieties, i.e. multi-flower honey, rapeseed honey, acacia honey and linden honey.[3] External links Wikimedia Commons has media related to Kopaszewo.
