The area became part of the emerging Polish state in the 10th century. Initially it was administratively part of the
Wleń castellany. During
World War II, from 1940,
Nazi Germany operated a
forced labour camp for Belgian,
French and Soviet prisoners of war in the village. The POWs were used to build a road towards the
Przełęcz Karkonoska, now known as
Droga Borowicka ("Borowice Road"). Poor sanitary and feeding conditions resulted in a high mortality rate, and by early 1942, a
typhus epidemic broke out in the camp, and in March 1942, the camp was dissolved and the construction was halted. In 1945, the Polish
Dolnośląskie Towarzystwo Turystyczno-Krajoznawcze ("Lower Silesian Tourist and Sightseeing Society") was founded in the village, which was merged with the
Polish Tourist and Sightseeing Society the following year. ==References==
