Before 1945, the area was part of Germany. It belonged to the administrative district of Landkreis Arnswalde of the Province of Pomerania and is located in Farther Pomerania. In documents of the 14th century, the village is referred to as Schlawentin.[2] From 1365 to 1752, i.e. for four hundred years, the village had been a fief of the noble family von Blankensee. Thereafter, it was owned by the families von Jagow and von Göllnitz, until, in 1829, it was bought by Wilhelm Ferdinand Eben, who passed it on to his son Carl. Thereafter, the estate had also other owners.[3] The last owner before 1945 had been Gertrud Otto.[4]

After the end of World War II, the district became part of Poland.
