It lies approximately 2 kilometres (1 mi) south-east of Środa Śląska, and 31 kilometres (19 mi) west of the regional capital Wrocław.

Prior to 1945 it was in Germany. After World War II the region was placed under Polish administration and ethnically cleansed according to the post-war Potsdam Agreement. The native German populace was expelled and replaced with Poles.

The merchant Georg von Kramsta had a Neo-Renaissance palace built here around the year 1885, that was destroyed during World War II.
