Attractions and Places To See around Chynów - Top 20

The Church of the Transfiguration of the Lord in Czersk is one of the oldest churches in Masovia. It was built at the turn of the 14th and 15th centuries with the funding of Duke Janusz I the Elder – the same one who erected the nearby castle. The church was built of brick in the Gothic style and has retained its medieval character to this day. Inside, you can see, among other things, historic vaults, old tombstones, and elements of equipment reminiscent of the times of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth. For centuries, the temple was an important place for the Masovian dukes and the inhabitants of old Czersk, which before the development of Warsaw was one of the most important centers of the region. An interesting fact is that the church stands very close to the castle, thanks to which both monuments today form one of the most characteristic historical points of southern Masovia.

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.

Church of the Transfiguration of the Lord - a Roman Catholic parish church belonging to the Czersk deanery of the Archdiocese of Warsaw. This is a temple built in the years 1805-1806. Bricks from the demolition of the castle were used for its construction. It was a compensation for the Prussian government for taking away the parish in the village of Linin. The church was built on a rectangular plan in the neo-Baroque style. At the end of the 19th century, a sacristy and a treasury were added, as well as a tower, on the top of which hangs a bell consecrated on September 23, 1956. https://www.parafiaczersk.pl/
