==History and landmarks== From the 14th century, the village has been known under various names, which included Lankanow and Lanka. In the 18th century, it was annexed by Prussia, and from 1871 it was part of the German Empire, within which, as Lanken it was administratively located in the Province of Lower Silesia and was property of Counts of Schlabrendorf, who had a majorat in the palace of Seppau (Szczepów), some 20 kilometers away. Between 1860 and 1945 the village served as an auxiliary residence of the counts, who had a manor house built at the western outskirts of the village.
