Part of the Silesian Duchy of Głogów under the Silesian Piasts, Piast duke Konrad I, Duke of Głogów, Konrad I from 1251 on, the settlement in 1476 belonged to the inheritance of Barbara of Brandenburg (1464–1515), Barbara of Brandenburg, widow of the last Głogów duke Henry XI of Głogów, Henry XI, and therefore claimed by her father Elector Albrecht III, Elector of Brandenburg, Albert Achilles of Brandenburg.
