Before 1945 the area was part of Germany (East Prussia).

Manor house

The village is the site of a well-preserved manor house, built in neoclassical style in the second half of the 19th century when the area was part of German East Prussia. It was first owned by the Puttlichs, and later became the residence of the Jahn family whose most notable member was Marie-Luise (see below).

The house was abandoned during the East Prussian Offensive in World War II. It was "nationalised" by the Polish communist government, and after the Cold War was extensively restored in 2000.

Notable residents

  • Marie-Luise Jahn (1918–2010), resistance fighter
  • Oskar Gottlieb Blarr (born 1934), German composer
