The village was first mentioned in a document in 1382.

After the First Silesian War in 1742, Groditz and most of Silesia fell to Prussia . Between 1743 and 1817 Groditz belonged to the Opole district .

In 1812 an evangelical school was built in Groditz. After the reorganization of the province of Silesia , the rural community of Groditz belonged to the district of Falkenberg OS in the administrative district of Opole from 1817 . In 1832 the school building was expanded. In 1840 the Winklerhütte was built, which processed lawn iron ore. In 1845 the village consisted of a farm, an evangelical school and another 69 houses. In the same year 359 people lived in Groditz, 160 of them Catholic. In 1855 478 people lived in the village. In 1865 the village had a school yard, 25 gardeners and 14 cottagers. The school was attended by 68 students in the same year. In 1874 the administrative district of Schedlau was founded, which consisted of the rural communities of Groditz, Guhrau, Heidersdorf, Mullwitz and Schedlau and the estate districts of Groditz, Guhrau, Heidersdorf, Mullwitz and Schedlau. In 1885 Groditz had 396 inhabitants.

In 1933 509 people lived in Groditz. On July 28, 1936, the village was renamed Burgstätte . In 1939 the village had 517 inhabitants. Until the end of the war in 1945 the place belonged to the district of Falkenberg OS

On March 18, 1945, Burgstätte was captured by the Red Army after some fierce fighting. Much of the village development was destroyed in the fighting. Then the previously German town of Groditz came under Polish administration, was renamed Grodziec and joined the Gmina Niemodlin. The German population was taken to the Lamsdorf internment camp in autumn 1945 . At least ten people from Burgstätte were killed there. The surviving Germans were expelled on June 21, 1946. In 1950 the place came to the Opole Voivodeship . In 1999 the place came to the re-established Powiat Opolski as part of Gmina Niemodlin .
