==History==
The village was mentioned as ''Burgravici'' in 1284, when it was part of fragmented [Piast](/source/Piast_dynasty)-ruled Poland. Later on, it was also part of [Bohemia (Czechia)](/source/Kingdom_of_Bohemia), [Prussia](/source/Kingdom_of_Prussia), and [Germany](/source/Germany). During [World War II](/source/World_War_II), the Germans operated the E566 [forced labour](/source/Forced_labour_under_German_rule_during_World_War_II) subcamp of the [Stalag VIII-B/344](/source/Stalag_VIII-B) [prisoner-of-war camp](/source/German_prisoner-of-war_camps_in_World_War_II) in the village.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.lamsdorf.com/working-parties.html|title=Working Parties|website=Lamsdorf.com|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201029103834/https://www.lamsdorf.com/working-parties.html|access-date=12 November 2021|archive-date=29 October 2020}}</ref> After the defeat of Germany in the war, in 1945, the village became again part of Poland and its historic name was restored.
