The village dates back to the medieval Kingdom of Poland and was first mentioned in the Liber fundationis episcopatus Vratislaviensis chronicle from the late 13th-early 14th century. Between 1871 and 1945 it was part of Germany. During World War II, the Germans established a subcamp of the Gross-Rosen concentration camp, whose prisoners were mainly Poles from Warsaw and Kraków.[2]
