History
Established in 1367, it has always been a town with handicraft, in particular cloth weaving up to the 19th century.[2]
During World War II it was incorporated into the Nazi Reichsgau Wartheland. At this time an Oflag was established - Oflag XXI-A, later renumbered Oflag XXI-C.
The town has a church which lies on the Wooden Churches Trail around Puszcza Zielonka.
