==History==<br />
The first mention of the village as ''Lesnie'' dates back to 1217, when it was part of [[Piast dynasty|Piast]]-ruled Poland.<ref name=gg/> The village is next mentioned in 1388, when Duke [[Władysław Opolczyk]] founded a Pauline monastery in the nearby village of [[Mochów]].<ref name=gg/> The area eventually came under the control of [[Habsburg monarchy|Austria]], but was taken by the [[Kingdom of Prussia]] in the 18th century. In 1850 the village was assigned to the parish of Mochau (Mochów). Until 1900 the village operated a distillery, and a watermill was functional until it was destroyed in a flood in 1903.<ref name=gg/><br />

Since 2009, in addition to the official Polish language, German has also been recognized as an additional secondary language.<br />
