![]() The village was mentioned in 1321. In 1350, the village charter was renewed by the Grand Master Heinrich Tusmer under the Chełmno law. The village had 95 włókas and 22 morgas of land. In the Teutonic Knights period, the village had a manor, which included the villages of Blumstein, Tenne, and Tragheim. The church, which was established during the first village foundation, was a Fachwerk building. It burned down during the first Swedish war. It was rebuilt between 1647 and 1654 and burned down again in 1811. It was rebuilt in 1824 and extended in 1896. The Lutheran church was erected in 1652, and in 1711, the residents erected a new Fachwerk church, which was replaced in 1903 with a brick church with a large tower. The sources from 1776 mentioned Mennonite Cornelius Epp. The sources from the beginning of the 19th century mentioned 11 Mennonites. In the 2nd half of the 19th century the village had 157 włókas of farmland, 15 homesteads, 18 minor gentry houses, 249 Catholics, 216 Lutherans, 29 Mennonites, and 47 houses. Among the richest owners were typical Mennonite surnames: J. Janzen, J.Wiebe, and G. Wiebe. Village layout - oval linear and square village in a north-south line with a church surrounded by a cemetery on the northern side of the square, an old Lutheran cemetery in the southern section of the village, a colony by the road to Tragamin, and an estate on the eastern side of the road to Lipinki. The cultural landscape is well preserved with a detectable spatial layout, a Catholic cemetery with a church and a cleaned up Lutheran cemetery with a preserved iron wrought fence, gates, and several gravestones. The Lutheran church and 18th century arcaded houses of Rudolf Wiebe, Dircksen, and Ernest Zimmermann have not survived. The road layout, remains of a narrow-gauge railroad along the eastern street, and traditional homesteads have survived. Many buildings have been modified or replaced preserving the traditional location. Several residential and farming buildings have survived.
