There is a historic manor in Rataje.
Rataje was a royal village, administratively located in the Pyzdry County in the Kalisz Voivodeship in the Greater Poland Province of the Kingdom of Poland.[2]
In the Second Partition of Poland, in 1793, it was annexed by Prussia. In 1807 it was regained by Poles and included within the newly established, however short-lived Duchy of Warsaw. Following the duchy's dissolution in 1815, it fell to the Russian Partition of Poland. On April 28, 1863, a Polish insurgent unit left Rataje to fight in the Battle of Pyzdry nearby.[3] In 1918 Poland regained independence and control of the village.
Following the joint German-Soviet invasion of Poland, which started World War II in September 1939, the village was occupied by Germany until 1945.
