This is where Chopin festivals "Chopin in the Colours of Autumn" are held. One of the aims of the festival is to commemorate Chopin's visits to the Radziwiłł residence, owned at the time by prince Antoni Radziwiłł. Prince Radziwiłł, himself a music lover and a patron of artists, played the cello and tried to compose music. Chopin and Radziwiłł met when Chopin was still a child and performed in the properties of Warsaw aristocracy. In 1827 and 1829 Chopin visited the Hunting Palace in Antonin.

The palace in Antonin, built at the beginning of the 19th century, is a valuable monument of Polish wood architecture. Nowadays, Antonin is famous for its history and also for the events that take place here. Prince Radziwiłł's salon is still the place where concerts of Chopin music by Polish and foreign artists are often heard. Various cultural events devoted to the great composer also take place here. Moreover, it houses a museum and a creative work centre.
