Before 1945, the village was in Germany (East Prussia) and known as Seenwalde. After the East Prussian plebiscite of 1920, which was largely boycotted by ethnic Poles, the area became part of the Weimar Republic and later Nazi Germany. Following World War II, the territory changed hands from Nazi Germany to restored Poland.
It was the location of the first private Polish school in Masuria, founded in 1931 by Jan Boenigk, which immediately resulted in German attempts to liquidate it.
