Serock is a town at the north bank of the Zegrze lake in the Legionowo County, Masovian Voivodeship, in central Poland, around north of Warsaw. It has 4,109 inhabitants (2013).

==History== The stronghold was founded in the 10th century, shortly after the creation of the Polish state by the Piast dynasty. The first mention of the settlement dates from 1065 with the so-called "Falsyfikat mogileński," a document from the Benedictine monastery in Mogilno. The town is situated on the route which was the trade route leading from Gdańsk and Truso to Rus'.
