Before 1945 the area was part of Germany and the village was called Gnadenfeld. Founded by the Moravian Brethren in 1743, it was for a century the site of their theological seminary. Following Germany's defeat, it was annexed by Poland and the German-speaking population largely expelled. (see Territorial changes of Poland after World War II). Many Moravians from Gnadenfeld founded in 1946 together with other German and Polish Moravian refugees Neugnadenfeld, a locality of today's Ringe.
The village now has a population of 1,300.
