History

The village was first mentioned at the end of the twelfth century. From 1549 to 1904 it belonged to Kottwitz family. Before 1945 the area was part of Germany within Prussia. After World War II and the subsequent border shift, 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.
