It lies approximately 4 kilometres (2 mi) southeast of Strzelin, and 42 kilometres (26 mi) south of the regional capital Wrocław.

Gościęcice has one of the largest sweet chestnut crops in Poland.[2] Their cultivation dates back to the Middle Ages, when local Catholic monks used these chestnuts for medical purposes.[2]

In the Middle Ages, the village was part of Poland, and afterwards it was also part of Bohemia, Prussia, and Germany, before it was awarded to Poland following World War II in 1945.
