In 1477, the Leszesz Convention also acquired partial estates in the settlement.
From the 16th century to the beginning of the 20th century, its larger owner was the Convent of Leess.
In 1876 there was a great flood in the village, which destroyed much of the village, but the settlement was soon rebuilt.
