Originally, the village was owned by the abbots from Wąchocki, who owned a hunting manor and farmland here.

After the dissolution of the Cistercian Abbey, the local estate and the manor house changed owners several times. Some of the manor buildings survived until the beginning of the 1990s, when the already destroyed buildings were finally demolished.

Currently, only the remains of the former manor park and fragments of the entrance gate have survived. In the village there is a larch chapel of St. Sophia, most probably from the mid-19th century, with a later brick sacristy, serving as a branch church of the Wąchock parish. The founder of the chapel is unknown. In the main altar there is a painting which is an allegory of St. Sophia with her three daughters: Faith, Hope and Love. This painting, together with the altar cabinet, are the only remains of the former parish church of St. Elizabeth in Wąchock.
