History edit

In the 19th century, in the hamlet was located a watermill and inn, that was popular among tourists from Lądek-Zdrój heading to Radochowska Cave. The inn was popular and mentioned by travel guides at the time. After 1945, when the area was transferred from Germany to Poland, the hamlet got renamed from Richtergrund into Gruszczyn, and remained a small agricultural settlement. In 1978, it contained 5 farms.[1]

Between 1975 and 1998, the hamlet was located in the Wałbrzych Voivodeship. Currently, it remains left out of lists of settlements such as TERYT.
