The town was founded by King Władysław Łokietek in 1326, allowing the village head of Lipnica Murowana to establish a town on 100 Franconian łans under the Średzki law. As a privilege, he allocated four fiefs, a third denarius from land, allowed him to build meat, fish, shoemakers, bakery butchers, a bathhouse and a mill, and finally to fish in ponds. On the other hand, the mayor was obliged to appear on the popular “cum lancea et una spadone” move. The settlers were freed for 13 years from all levies, levies and burdens, and from customs duties throughout the country forever if they sold and transported their own products.
The town under King Casimir the Great was surrounded by city walls, hence the name "Murowana". The Średzkie law did not survive and the town fell into decline, and in 1370 the mother of King Ludwik of Hungary, Queen Regent Elżbieta issued a new document, in which she announced that seeing the poor condition of the town of Lipnica, she granted it Magdeburg law, repealing all Polish laws and common customs. There was a "trivial" folk school in the town (he studied there Kazimierz Brodziński).
In 1934, the town lost its municipal rights.
Lipnica Murowana is located at the Małopolska Wooden Architecture Trail, with two sites on the list (out of four in the municipality) and belongs to Association "On the Plum Trail"promoting local and unique food products.
