History
It was granted town rights by Duke Bolko I the Strict in 1291, when it was part of fragmented Piast-ruled Poland.[3] Defensive town walls were built that same year.[4] It was a private church town of the monastery of the Benedictine nuns until secularization in 1810.[3][4] Five annual fairs were held in the town in the late 19th century.[4]
