In 1454 King [[Casimir IV Jagiellon]] incorporated the village and region to the [[Kingdom of Poland (1385-1569)|Kingdom of Poland]] upon the request of the [[Prussian Confederation]], and after the subsequent [[Thirteen Years' War (1454–1466)]] it was part of Poland as a [[fief]] held by the [[Teutonic Order|Teutonic Knights]].<ref>{{Cite book|last=Górski|first=Karol|title=Związek Pruski i poddanie się Prus Polsce: zbiór tekstów źródłowych|year=1949|publisher=Instytut Zachodni|location=[[Poznań]]|language=Polish|pages=54, 96–97, 214–215}}</ref> From the 18th century it was part of the [[Kingdom of Prussia]], and from 1871 to 1945 it was part of [[Germany]], administratively located in the province of [[East Prussia]]. During [[World War II]], [[Adolf Hitler]]'s military headquarters from June 21, 1941, to November 20, 1944, were situated here in a bunker, called the [[Wolf's Lair]]. After the [[Victory in Europe Day|1945 defeat]] of [[Nazi Germany]] in the war, the village along with Masuria became again part of Poland.<br />
