History

edit

The village was first mentioned in 1283, when it was part of Piast-ruled Poland. In the 18th century it was annexed by Prussia, and from 1871 to 1945 it also formed part of Germany. During World War II, a German forced labour subcamp of the prison in Jawor was operated in the village.[2] After the defeat of Nazi Germany in the war in 1945, the village became again part of Poland.
