The estates belonged to the Nostitz noble family at Czocha Castle, who about 1660 operated a gold mine here. The settlement of expelled members of the Bohemian Unity of the Brethren received market rights by Elector John George II of Saxony in 1672. According to the Final Act of the 1815 Vienna Congress, Goldentraum passed from Saxony to the Kingdom of Prussia and was incorporated into the Silesia Province. After World War I, a river dam of the Kwisa (Jezioro Złotnickie) was erected above Lake Leśnia laid out in 1905. With the implementation of the Oder-Neisse line in 1945, the area fell to the Republic of Poland.
