History

Traces of settlement on the site during the Roman Empire period have been found.

From the 13th century the town belonged to the Duchy of Świdnica, from 1392 it was ruled by Silesian Piasts. Subsequently it shared the political fortunes of Silesia, and passed to Czech and then Austrian Habsburg sovereignty. During the Thirty Years' War it suffered almost complete destruction.
