History

During the German occupation of Poland in World War II, in 1940, the German gendarmerie carried out expulsions of Poles, who were first sent to a transit camp in Konstantynów Łódzki and then deported to the Kraków District in the more-southeastern part of German-occupied Poland. The German occupiers either destroyed or looted a portion of the collection of the Walewski family, and the manor was occupied by German colonists.
