The village has a population of 170. This picturesque village is of past importance as the castle was part of the Szlak Orlich Gniazd "trail of eagles nests", one of a chain of 14th century (reign of King Casimir) medieval castles that protected the north- western border of royal Krakow that went all the way to Czestochowa. The castle, Zamek Korzkiew, is being restored and currently houses a boutique hotel and a conference center-banquet hall.
