==History==
Not much is known about the history of the village from documented sources. It is assumed that the village has always been a pure [[Agriculture|farming]] village without a [[manor house]]. The village had been a [[fief]] of the von Below family since 1466. Around 1780 it was one of the largest villages in the area, with 17 farmers, a smithy, a schoolmaster and 34 fireplaces. In the meantime, one of three parts of the village had fallen into the possession of the von Krockow family (from 1635 to 1637). In 1804 it was again entirely in the possession of the von Below family. In 1835, the von Below family sold it to the [[Prussia|Prussian state]], probably in connection with the [[Prussian Reform Movement]]. Since then it has been an independent farming village. On 8 March 1945, the village was occupied by Soviet troops. The farms were taken over by Poles. In April 1947, all Germans were expelled.<ref name="nitzlin">Hugo Römer: ''Nitzlin''.

The layout and spatial, oval-shaped structure of the village changed little after 1945. A few buildings remained in their original form. Most of them, however, were rebuilt.<ref name="nosalin" />
From 1975 to 1998 the village was administratively assigned to the [[Słupsk Voivodeship]].

==Religion==
The population was entirely Protestant before 1945 and belonged to the parish in [[Pieszcz]] (''Peest'').<ref name="nitzlin" />
