Czarnolas is famous as the residence of the Polish Renaissance poet, Jan Kochanowski. Today the village hosts the Jan Kochanowski Museum in Czarnolas [pl]. opened in 1961.[2]

The village's name translates to "blackwood" or "black forest".

History

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.[3][4]

From 1975 to 1998, the village was part of Radom Voivodeship.
