The beginnings of the creation of the "largest orchard in Europe" date back to the reign of Queen Bona, who was famous for her passion for gardening, including fruit growing. In 1545, she received large tracts of land in the Grójec district, which she later took care of, establishing numerous privileges for the owners of gardens. Then, fruit growing found legal support in the royal act of 1578, issued by Queen Bona's son. This gave rise to the development of fruit orchards, mainly apple orchards. Many historical works contain numerous mentions of the development of manor and peasant orchards in the Grójec region. A significant role in the history of "Grójecki apples" was also played by clergymen (Roch Wójcicki from Belsk, Niedźwiedzki from Łęczeszyce, Stefan Roguski from Goszczyn and Edward Kawiński from Konary), who in the 19th century were the main promoters of fruit growing in this region. At the beginning of the 20th century, commercial orchards were already established, the symbol of which was Jan Cieślak from Podgórzyce. He introduced high culture in the cultivation and storage of apples (in 1918 he built the first fruit storage facility in Poland). At the beginning of the 20th century, the first advisors also appeared, and one of the most famous from this region was Witalis Urbanowicz, who in 1909 became famous for developing the 10 gardening commandments. The very dynamic development of Grójec fruit growing, synonymous with Prof. Szczepan Pieniążek, began at the end of World War II. Thanks to him, the Institute of Pomology and Floriculture was established, which passed on the latest knowledge and experience in apple cultivation to local fruit growers. On the professor's recommendation, his student, Eligiusz Gajewski, founded the Experimental Plant of the Institute of Pomology and Floriculture in Nowa Wieś. This plant became a model farm from which Grójec fruit growers drew practical knowledge.

In the 11th century, on the site of today's castle there was a wooden and earthen stronghold with a chamber structure, which was built during the reign of Bolesław the Brave or Władysław Herman. This stronghold was the main administrative centre of the Duchy of Czersk. In 1224, the sources mention Piotr Pilch, the castellan of Czersk. On 27 April 1245, the Bishop of Poznań Bogufał II, in the presence of Konrad II and his sons, consecrated the wooden church of St. Peter built in the courtyard. In 1229, Duke Konrad of Mazovia imprisoned Duke Henry the Bearded in the stronghold. He released him the same year after the intervention of Duchess Jadwiga, who arrived from Silesia, and after Henry agreed to waive his claims to Lesser Poland. In 1239, Konrad imprisoned Bolesław the Chaste in the stronghold. Before 1406, a small brick collegiate church of St. Peter with exquisite decoration. From 1350 comes a mention in a document of Duke Casimir I Trojdenowicz about the obligation of bishops' villages to build izbicas on the Czersk stronghold damaged during the Lithuanian invasion. In the 14th century, Duke Janusz I of Mazovia ordered a brick castle to be built in place of the outdated stronghold, which was built in the years 1388–1410. It was one of the most important residences of Duke Janusz I, who died in this castle on December 8, 1429.

The brick temple was founded in 1756 by Franciszek Bieliński and built in the baroque style for the Bernardine Order. The church was built on the site of a wooden structure destroyed by a hurricane or fire. The temple was designed by the Italian architect Jakub Fontana. In 1864, the Bernardine monastery, existing next to the church, was dissolved by the tsarist authorities due to the monks' participation in the January Uprising. In 1897, the temple was named the parish church of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary. On April 8, 1952, the church and parish were handed over to the Marian priests. https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ko%C5%9Bci%C3%B3%C5%82_Niepokalanego_Pocz%C4%99cia_Naj%C5%9Bwi%C4%99tszej_Maryi_Panny_w_G%C3%B3rze_Kalwarii https://www.marianie.pl/its/gora-kalwaria
