Ornontowice is a communal village situated in the district of Mikołów. The settlement was already mentioned under the name of Renoltowitz at the beginning of the fourteenth century. In the first half of the century, there was a parish here. In the early seventeenth century, there were salt works, where the salt from Wieliczka was boiled. At the end of the eighteenth century, the first coal mine “Leopold” was built in Ornontowice. The next century brought further industrialization. A blast furnace and a factory were built, and in 1888, a railway line was constructed. In Ornontowice one can find a nineteenth-century palace of the Hegenscheid family.
