The current name of the village is literally a house in the aspen and appears in Polish historical sources also as Ossowa Sień or Ossowasień. The German name is derived from the name of a German settler Rüdiger and occurs in older versions as Rüdigersdorf or later shortened Röhrsdorf.
The first mention of the village dates from 1325, when it was called Rudegeri Villa.[4]
The Church of St. Fabian and St. Sebastian, built in the 14th century, is the oldest historical building in Osowa Sień. It is a single-aisle building, made of stone with a use of bricks. Baroque interior comes from the 18th century. Inside there is as well the sculpture of Christ from the 16th century and the Renaissance tombstones of a former landlords from Żychliński and Ossowski family.[5]
In the village there is also the neoclassical palace complex built between 1890-1904 and Classicist manor from the beginning of the 19th century, both surrounded by large park areas.[5]
