The place was called Bulilunkin by Adam von Bremen around 1075 in the description of the Sachsenwall and mentioned as Bolunke in a document of the Diocese of Lübeck from March 27, 1249. From 1342 there was a flour mill in which the farmers had to have their grain ground.

Due to several fires, some of them severe, towards the end of the 19th century, very little old building fabric can be found today.

The church in Blunk was built in 1965. However, it was demolished in 2010 and the property has become private property.
