The village was first mentioned in the 14th century, it was since ruled by local Polish dukes of the Piast dynasty, Bohemian and Hungarian kings, Saxon electors and Polish kings, and from 1871 to 1945 it was part of Germany. From 1920 to 1945 it was located within the city limits of nearby Zittau, before it became a separate village again, as part of post-World War II Poland.[3]
