A small, piedmont village stretched out in the valley on the west foot of the Śnieżnik Massif. There are numerous houses and farm buildings characteristic to Kłodzko area in the middle of 19th century. Near the village there are ruins of a large Renaissance mansion from 1585. Pride of the village is a splendid Baroque church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary from the early 18th century, which has a surprising link with the history of France. In 1890 the exhibition of memorabilia of the late Maria Antonina - Queen of France - took place in Paris. Among the displayed museum units, there was also a Brabant lace veil - three meters long and 33 cm wide. The Queen gave it to her confessor – father de l'Orme, who accompanied her during her final journey to the scaffold.
In 1805 John Strobach - the Augustinian from Monastery on the Sand - got the veil. After the dissolution of the Monastery 5 years later, the veil has changed owners and got into the hands of the former Augustinian, Dominic Jaschke, who was a frequent guest at her sister in Nowa Wieś. Following his death, the veil has been placed in the Church in Nowa Wieś, where it was a great tourist attraction.
After World War II under unclear circumstances it got to western part of Germany and is currently in Telgte near Monastery (Münster).
