History
During the German occupation of Poland (World War II), the occupiers operated a subcamp of the prison in Kartuzy in the village.[2] It was one of the places of imprisonment of Poles from nearby towns and villages who were arrested by the German gendarmerie, Einsatzkommando 16 and Selbstschutz during the Intelligenzaktion in 1939, before their executions in the nearby Kaliska forest.[2]
