Groty (Polish: [ˈɡrɔ.tɘ̟]) is a neighbourhood and City Information System area in the Bemowo district of Warsaw, Poland. It is a residential area with mostly low-rise housing.
The oldest known records of Groty, then a small farming community, dates to 1462. The village was destroyed between 1655 and 1656 by the Swedish army during the Second Northern War, and rebuilt afterwards. It was incorporated into the city in 1951, and in the 1970s, low-rise housing estates had developed in its area.
