History

The town suffered during the Thirty Years' War, and in 1625 and 1638 many residents died due to epidemics.[3]
Following the end of World War II, a statue to commemorate Allied soldiers of the Red Army was erected in the town. In 2025, the monument was pulled down on the initiative of the town's mayor in the context of the Russo-Ukrainian war. The destruction of the monument was publicly supported by Karol Polejowski. A replacement monument to post-war residents is scheduled to be erected in 2026.[4]
