history

The year of foundation of the place called Grondozisken before 1785 and Grodziska until 1908 is not known. The place was the seat of a domain and the location of a brick factory . In 1874 Grodzisken was in the newly built office district Przytullen ( Polish Przytuły ) integrated, the - 1938 renamed "District Steinhöhe" - existed until 1945 and the East Prussian district Szczytno belonged. In 1910 the place, renamed "Burggarten" on July 22, 1908, had 93 inhabitants.

On the basis of the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Burggarten belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus Germany) or join Poland. In Burggarten, 58 people voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not.

On September 30, 1928, Burggarten lost its independence and was incorporated into the rural community of Ruttkowen (1938 to 1945 Ruttkau , in Polish Rutkowo ).

When the whole of southern East Prussia was transferred to Poland in 1945 as a result of the war , Burggarten was also affected and received the Polish form of the name “Grodziska”. Today the hamlet ( Osada in Polish ) is a locality within the rural community Dźwierzuty (Mensguth) in the powiat Szczycieński ( Ortelsburg district ), until 1998 the Olsztyn Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .
