History

Ruins of Chróstnik Palace

The village is originally mentioned as Old Polish Chrustenik (meaning shrubbery or brushwood) with the parish church under the patronage of a Boleslaw von Brauchitsch in 1222. Members of the Brauchitsch noble family were landowners here up to 1633. The Baroque Brauchitschdorf Palace was erected from 1723 to 1728 and enlarged in 1909. After World War II the Red Army plundered the building.
