==History== thumb|left|19th-century view of the old tower Radziejowice was the seat of the Radziejowski noble family, which gained considerable influence in Poland in the 17th century. Stanisław Radziejowski often hosted Polish King Sigismund III Vasa in Radziejowice, his son Hieronim Radziejowski hosted King Władysław IV Vasa in 1642, and his grandson Michał Stefan Radziejowski hosted Countess Palatine Hedwig Elisabeth of Neuburg, wife of Polish Prince James Louis Sobieski. After the death of Michał Stefan Radziejowski, it subsequently passed to the Prażmowski, Ossoliński and Krasiński families. The Krasiński family founded a Catholic parish in 1786 and built a new Neoclassical church in 1822. In 1827, the village had a population of 249.
