Grojec, Village in Lesser Poland Voivodeship, Poland.
Located in Oświęcim County, Grojec spans across rolling hills at an elevation of 260 meters, surrounded by agricultural fields and wooded areas.
First documented in 1285 under the name Grozey, Grojec originated as a settlement within the medieval Duchy of Racibórz before joining the Polish Crown.
The village maintains traditional Polish rural customs through local celebrations, community gatherings, and religious observances throughout the calendar year.
Grojec connects to nearby Oświęcim through regular bus services and provides essential services including a school, church, and local administration office.
