Grójec

Grójec is a city in Masovian Voivodeship located south of Warsaw, organized around a historic market square. The town center features merchant houses and a parish church that define its architectural character and streetscape.

The settlement received town privileges in 1419 from Duke Janusz I of Warsaw, building on an earlier fortified settlement from the 11th century. This early foundation established it as an important trading post in the region.

The town has served as a marketplace for centuries, where farmers from surrounding villages bring their produce and local traders display their goods. This commercial spirit remains central to how residents experience and understand their community.

The town is easily accessible from Warsaw by public transit or car, making a half-day visit feasible. The old town with its market square is easy to explore on foot, with parking available near the center.

The surrounding region is known as Poland's largest apple-growing area, where specific weather patterns support fruit cultivation on a large scale. This shapes both the local economy and the rural landscape.
