This village with the amenity of clean air and lying a long way from busy roads was first recorded in 1336. It has a
large forest on its outskirts, stretching for miles, which still contains the remains of the German WW II defense line.
The settlement was occupied by the Soviet army on April 4, 1945, and a T34 tank was left on Main Square as a monument.
Another interesting monument is a wooden belfry. In feudal times, a lot of gentry lived here. Current population is 23,
making it the smallest village of the country. [German name was Ginisdorf]
