It was initially a Polish stronghold, possibly besieged during the first Mongol invasion of Poland in 1241.[1] It was granted town rights by Duke Bolko I the Strict in 1296,[1] when it was part of the Duchy of Jawor within fragmented Piast-ruled Poland. In 1426, the town was captured and devastated by the Hussites.[1] The town was affected by fires in 1487 and 1639.[1] The local church was taken by Protestants during the Reformation and then restored to the Catholics in 1637.[1] During the Thirty Years' War, in 1640, it was the site of a Swedish victory against the Austrians.[1]
