The history of the village most likely goes back to the 13th century (the neighbouring village of Bukówek, Ger. Buchenwald, was founded in 1282). A parish church already existed in the village in the Middle Ages. The present church of St Lawrence was built at the beginning of the 17th century and features an 18th-century altar painting of St Lawrence with a splendid polichrome wooden frame and a baroque painting of St Nicolaus.
