Guzowice [ɡuzɔˈvit͡sɛ] (German: Hellefeld; until 1937: Kuschwitz) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Cieszków, within Milicz County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland.[1] It lies approximately 3 kilometres (2 mi) south-west of Cieszków, 11 kilometres (7 mi) north of Milicz, and 59 kilometres (37 mi) north of the regional capital Wrocław.

Prior to 1945 it was in Germany. After World War II the region was placed under Polish administration and ethnically cleansed according to the post-war Potsdam Agreement. The native German populace was expelled and replaced with Poles.
