Since 1645, the Evangelical inhabitants of the town belonged to the Church of Peace in nearby Świdnica, while, until 1773, the Catholics belonged to the Jesuit Church of Świdnica. The village was annexed by Prussia in 1741, and was administratively located in the Świdnica County (then Landkreis Schweidnitz) since. A sugar factory was established in the village in the early 19th century.

From 1871 to 1945 it was also part of Germany. In 1874 the local civil registry was established. During World War II the Germans operated the E12001 forced labour subcamp of the Stalag VIII-B/344 prisoner-of-war camp in the village.
