The first record about Gliśnica dates back to 1652. Since 1819 the village was part of Thurn und Taxis family's possessions. In 1789 the village had 164 inhabitants, in 1822 had 200, and at the end of 19th-century over 400, of which half were Protestants. During the German occupation (1939–1945) it was temporarily called ''Schönfeld''.
