Gronówko was a private village of Polish nobility, administratively located in the Kościan County in the Poznań Voivodeship in the Greater Poland Province of the Kingdom of Poland.[2]
During the German occupation of Poland (World War II), in November 1943, the occupiers established a subcamp of the Oflag XXI-C prisoner-of-war camp in the village.[3] It held British and Dutch officers, with Italian POWs serving as orderlies.[3]
