history
In the 10th century the area around Biskupice was given to the diocese of Krakow by the Polish ruler Mieszko I. As a result, settlements, churches and parishes emerged in this area, which were laid out by the bishops, including the Radłów, first mentioned in 1080.
The village of Biskupice Radłowskie was first mentioned in writing in 1391.
The area suffered from incursions by the Tartars (13th century) and the Swedes and Hungarians (17th century). In addition, there were frequent floods from the Dunajec, Vistula and Raba rivers well into the 20th century .
When Poland was first partitioned in 1772, Biskupice came under the rule of the Habsburg monarchy . The separated part of Poland to which Biskupice belonged was called the Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria and from 1804 belonged to the Austrian Empire . From 1860 to 1873, Galicia gradually gained autonomy, which resulted in the development of Polish culture.
During the First World War there was fighting on the Dunajec. Biskupice was burned down. Its residents had been evacuated.
After the war, Biskupice were rebuilt. But on September 1, 1939, the Second World War began with the attack on Poland . On September 7th and 8th 1939 there was a battle between the German and Polish armies near Biskupice. In this battle, 31 residential or farm buildings were burned down.
Mayor of Biskupice is Kazimierz Sarnecki.

Parish
The parish of Biskupice is called the Most Holy Virgin Mary of Czestochowa . It was founded in 1981 by Archbishop Jerzy Karol Ablewicz . As early as 1970 in Biskupice, through private initiatives of the population, church services were celebrated in some provisional meeting rooms. For a long time, the communist rulers prevented the building of a church. After all, after the parish was established between 1982 and 1990, the church was built according to a design by Euzebiusz Rumiński. The Kuklewicz sisters donated the land for the church. The foundation stone for the church was consecrated in 1983 by Pope John Paul II in Krakow and laid by Jerzy Ablewicz. The lower church was founded in 1985 by Bishop Piotr Bednarczyk consecrated , the whole Church in 1991 by Archbishop Józef Życiński . Kazimierz Schaefer created the Way of the Cross.

Culture and sights
In 1450, Cardinal Zbigniew Oleśnicki had a border post built in Biskupice, which has been preserved to this day (2019). This boundary stone served to demarcate the secular noble villages Zabawa and Zdrochec and the spiritual property around Biskupice and Radłów. It is a square granite column with beveled corners. Above it has a stone roof with a ball. Under the stone roof there is a relief on each of the four sides:
- a cross
- two female figures
- the coat of arms of Zbigniew Oleśnicki
Various inscriptions are made on the shaft of the column:
- above, below the reliefs, in Gothic minuscule from the 15th century:

- Um + distinguit + et + Heru / m /
- 1450 + mar + 4 +
- dextrum + do + clero + sini?
