History
editThe village was founded in the 14th century (around 1312–14). Its previous name "Rosengart" or "Rosengarten" is believed to stem from the word/name "Roßgarten".
In the 16th century, Mennonite settlers also came to the village of Rosengart. The Rosengart Mennonite community was part of the Thiensdorf-Pr.Rosengart parish; Mennonite churches were located in Markushof (today: Markusy) and Thiensdorf (today: Jezioro).
In 1890, a separate Mennonite church was built in Pr. Rosengart - which is now a Catholic church.
