The village appears in written records from 1349 as part of the Plock Voivodeship in the Greater Poland Province. In 1920, a battle took place during the Polish-Soviet War, now marked by a military cemetery on the site.
The Jewish cemetery, restored in 2002, marks the presence of a community that once made up a significant portion of the village before World War II. Visitors today can experience this site as a reminder of the diverse heritage that shaped the place.
The village is accessible with basic amenities available at the Culture and History Centre for visitors exploring local exhibitions and events. The best time to visit is during warmer months when outdoor activities and community gatherings are more frequent.
The 115th Greater Poland Uhlan Regiment played a role in the 1920 battle, and their story is preserved at a military cemetery on the grounds. This connection links major 20th century military events directly to the local village identity.
