Gorzeszów is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Kamienna Góra, within Kamienna Góra County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland.[1]
It lies approximately 14km (09miles) south of Kamienna Góra, and 81km (50miles) south-west of the regional capital Wrocław. It is situated in the Kamienna Góra Valley in the Central Sudetes.
The Nature reserve Głazy Krasnoludków ("Dwarf Boulders") is located near the village.
The village was founded before 1289 within fragmented Piast-ruled Poland. After World War II, in 1945–1947, Poles expelled from Wiśniowce in pre-war south-eastern Poland annexed by the Soviet Union settled in Gorzeszów.[2] An agricultural cooperative was founded in the village in 1951.[3]
