Wola Radziszowska lies in the outermost western part of Pogórze Wielickie foothills, in the valley between Pochów and Chorzyny hills from which a scenic view extends.
Wola Radziszowska was set up by Benedictines from Tyniec between 1286 (when they obtained the right to found new settlements), and 1311, when the name Wola Radziszowska appeared in the document issued by King Ladislaus the Elbow-High (Władysław Łokietek). As a result of turmoil connected with the division of Poland into separate duchies, Wola ended up right outside the border of Kraków and Silesian Duchies, which soon became the border between the Polish Kingdom and the Duchy of Zator. In 1564 Wola was again within the borders of Poland. It was still owned to the Tyniec-based Benedictines. The locality was not spared destruction during the struggle of Bar Confederates and the Swedish invasion.
In the 18th century, Emperor Joseph II signed the decree dissolving the Benedictine Abbey, and so Wola ceased to be the Tyniec Benedictines’ property. In 1809 Count Wawrzyniec Dzieduszycki bought the village from Austrians. In 1903 Wola and Radziszów were purchased by lawyer Stefan Kirchmayer, who parcelled out the land and sold it to local farmers.
