Fürstenwalde originally only consisted of a large farm. It was founded in 1854. In the “Official Gazette of the Royal Prussian Government in Königsberg, 1854, No. 33 Ordinance No. 181 “it was said under the date of August 7, 1854: The name Fürstenwalde is attached to the dismantling within the boundaries of the Fürstenau village, Rastenburg district. Until 1945, Fürstenwalde was a residential area in the community of Fürstenau ( Polish: Leśniewo ) in the East Prussian district of Rastenburg . In 1885 it had 25 inhabitants, in 1905 only 9 inhabitants.

As a result of the war, all of southern East Prussia and with it Fürstenwalde came to Poland in 1945 . The small place received the Polish form of the name "Kaczory" and is today "część wsi Leśniewo" ("part of the village Leśniewo") without an independent function. As such, it is incorporated into the Gmina Srokowo (Drengfurth) in the powiat Kętrzyński ( Rastenburg district ), until 1998 of the Olsztyn Voivodeship , since then it has belonged to the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .
