Zeje is a small village located in the Masovian Voivodeship of east‑central Poland, within Zwoleń County and the administrative district of Gmina Zwoleń. The settlement lies approximately 8 kilometres southeast of the town of Zwoleń and about 107 kilometres south of Warsaw, the national capital. According to the latest census conducted in 2020, the village has a population of roughly three hundred inhabitants and covers an area of around 1.5 square kilometres.

The first recorded mention of Zeje dates back to the early 15th century, when it appears in land registries as a modest agricultural community. Throughout its history the village has retained a rural character, with its economy largely based on farming and livestock rearing. A notable landmark in Zeje is the wooden Church of St. Mary, erected in 1725, which serves as a cultural and architectural testament to the village’s long history.

Zeje is also known for hosting an annual folk festival that celebrates regional traditions through music, dance, and local cuisine. The event draws visitors from neighbouring villages and serves to strengthen community ties. While small in size, Zeje’s historical continuity and local traditions contribute to the cultural tapestry of the Masovian countryside.
