although it is believed that the village is much
older. At the time of Mieszko I, there was a
settlement of the Vistulans here. The Polish
troops under the command of king John III

way to Vienna. From the nineteenth century to
the Second World War, the village belonged to
the Habsburg Żywiec, who in the 20s of the
