Skorogoszcz () is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Lewin Brzeski, within Brzeg County, Opole Voivodeship, in southern Poland.
==History== The village was first mentioned in a document of the Diocese of Wrocław from 1223 under the Latinized Polish name Scorogostow. In a document of Duke Casimir I of Opole from 1228 it was mentioned as a village located on Polish law. It was granted town rights in 1271, which it eventually lost in 1945. It was part of Piast-ruled Poland, and later on, it was also part of Bohemia (Czechia) under the Holy Roman Empire, Prussia and unified Germany. During World War II, the German Nazi government operated the E778 forced labour subcamp of the Stalag VIII-B/344 prisoner-of-war camp in the town. Skorogoszcz became again part of Poland after the defeat of Nazi Germany in the war in 1945.
