The village received privileges in 1399 or 1410. It was re-settled in the 17th century as a part of the village of Lichnowy Wielkie. The sources from 1776 mentioned the following Mennonite surnames: Ens, Esauł, Harder, Claassen, Sawatski, Wiens, and Woelcke. In 1820, the village had 208 residents, including 50 Mennonites, in 1869 - 20 houses and 245 residents, including 51 Mennonites, and in 1936 - 277 residents, including 36 Mennonites. In 1800, Mennonites erected a wooden House of Prayer used by residents of the nearby villages of Parczewo, Boręty, Dąbrowa, Listw, Lichnowy Wielkie, Lichnowy Małe, Parszewo, Nowa Cerkwia, and Gniazdowo.

Village layout - a linear village in a north-south line along the Lichnowy Wielkie - Ostaszewo road with buildings on both sides of the road; large farms were located on its western side; detached colonial buildings and a Mennonite cemetery are located to the north of the village, on the eastern side of the road.

The cultural landscape has partially survived with detectable homestead and field layouts. The Mennonite cemetery has been severely destroyed. A bethhaus was destroyed after 1945. Several wooden houses, a Kreutzhoff Dutch homestead, and an arcaded house have survived in the village and colonies. Roads are lined with old limes, oaks, ashes, and chestnut trees, which dominate in the village.
