History

The village dates back to the Middle Ages, when it was part of Piast-ruled Poland. The local Saint Nicholas church was mentioned in 1310. Różyna was the location of a motte-and-bailey castle from the 14th-16th century, which is now an archaeological site.[2] In the 18th century, the village was annexed by Prussia, and from 1871 to 1945 it was also part of Germany, before it became again part of Poland following Germany's defeat in World War II.
