The village was founded in 1360 as a Teutonic Knights' manor of the Dzierzgoń Commandry - Thorichte Hof. After 1465, it was a part of the Malbork estate. At the beginning of the 17th century, the settlement had a large, 2-storey, brick manor house - "folwark Szaleniecz". It was leased in 1726 under the emphyteutic law with 19 włókas, 16 morgas, and 150 pręts of land and formed into a village with 9 farms. At the beginning of the 20th century, one of them was converted into a small estate. In 1727, 11 Mennonites lived in the village. The sources from 1776, mention the following surnames: Dau, Dircksen, Dick, Fisch, Funck, Gruntu, Jantzen, Kaettler, Kasper, Martens, Penner, and Siebervol.
