history

In the work Liber fundationis episcopatus Vratislaviensis from the years 1295-1305, the place is mentioned for the first time as Herzmantowitz . For the year 1477 the place name Perszkensteyn and 1512 Hermanszdorff is handed down.

After the First Silesian War in 1742, Perschkenstein and most of Silesia fell to Prussia . In 1782 a school was established in the village.

After the reorganization of the province of Silesia , the rural community of Perschkenstein belonged to the district of Grottkau in the administrative district of Opole from 1816 . In 1845 there was a Catholic school, a distillery, a pond and 18 other houses in the village. In the same year 138 people lived in Perschkenstein, all of them Catholic. In 1855 133 people lived in Perschkenstein. In 1865 there were four farmers, nine gardeners, six cottagers and two residents. The two-class school was attended by 169 students in the same year. In 1874 the district of Klein Mahlendorf was founded, which consisted of the rural communities of Bittendorf, Klein Mahlendorf, Klein Vorwerk, Laskowitz, Nitterwitz, Perschkenstein, Ullersdorf and Weidich and the manor districts of Bittendorf, Klein Mahlendorf, Klein Vorwerk, Nitterwitz and Ullersdorf. In 1885 Perschkenstein had 156 inhabitants.

In 1933 300 people lived in Perschkenstein and in 1939 there were 269 people. Until the end of the war in 1945, the place belonged to the district of Grottkau .

As a result of the Second World War, Perschkenstein fell under Polish administration in 1945, like most of Silesia . It was subsequently renamed Grądy and joined the Silesian Voivodeship. The German population was largely expelled . In 1950 it was incorporated into the Opole Voivodeship. In 1999 the place came to the re-established Powiat Nyski .
