History

The first mention of Pstrąże comes from 1305 when Germans appeared on those terrains. The name was known as Pstransse. During XV and XVI centuries there was supposed to be a small defending-castle. In 1865 the village was destroyed by a fire. In 1901 the village was rebuilt as a place for German Imperial Army. After World War I the German army buildings were destroyed.

The village was captured on 10 February 1945 by the Soviet Army, while Germans blew up a bridge on the Bóbr river to prevent the army from pushing forward.

During other years the village was corrupting. Finally, it became abandoned in the 1990s.
