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.

gollark: The encrypted SNI thing isn't yet deployed anywhere seriously as far as I know. Except maybe Cloudflare.
gollark: No, there's an SNI thing as well as that, the *header* is encrypted.
