Chrzanowen was founded in 1473 ; it consisted of several small courtyards.

Based on the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Chrzanowen belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether they would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Chrzanowen, 100 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not cast any votes.

On August 31, 1933, Chrzanowen was renamed Kalkofen , as part of a National Socialist renaming campaign that was later carried out systematically . In the same year the population was 183 and decreased to 150 by 1939.

In 1945 the village was in consequence of the war with the entire southern East Prussia to Poland and received the Polish name form Chrzanowo .
