The place was founded around 1220 by the Wroclaw bishop and then destroyed by the Tatars in 1241. Rebuilt, the place received city rights in 1263. Gold and iron ore were mined around the place. In the age of Polish particularism, the city belonged to changing duchies until it came to the principality of Neisse, which had been dependent on the fief of Bohemia since 1342. The city was affected in the Hussite Wars and the Thirty Years' War. In 1742/1763 the place came to Prussia. In 1874 the town was connected to the rail network, and thanks to the medicinal springs, the town became a popular health resort in the late 19th century. In 1945 the city came to Poland.
