The village was first mentioned in 1244 in a document for the inauguration of the church in the village by Bishop Thomas von Breslau. In the work Liber fundationis episcopatus Vratislaviensis from the years 1295-1305, the place is mentioned as Karlovitz . The place name Carlowicz has been handed down for the year 1373 .

After the First Silesian War in 1742, Groß Carlowitz fell with most of Silesia to Prussia .

After the reorganization of the province of Silesia , the rural community of Groß Carlowitz belonged to the district of Grottkau in the administrative district of Opole from 1816 . In 1845 there was a Catholic parish church, a Scholtisei , a Vorwerk and 30 other houses in the village. In the same year, 197 people lived in Groß Carlowitz, all of them Catholic. In 1855, 184 people lived in Groß Carlowitz. In 1865 there were two farmer's and 13 gardener's and six cottage's jobs in the village. The three-class Catholic school was attended by 300 students in the same year. In 1874 the administrative district of Klodebach was founded, which consisted of the rural communities Groß Carlowitz, Kasischka, Klodebach and Zauritz and the manor districts Groß Carlowitz, Kasischka, Klodebach and Zauritz. In 1885 Groß Carlowitz had 257 inhabitants.

In 1933, 404 people lived in Groß Carlowitz. On July 22nd, 1936 the place was renamed Groß Karlshöh in the course of a wave of renaming of places during the Nazi era . In 1939 Groß Karlshöh had 415 inhabitants. Until the end of the war in 1945, the place belonged to the district of Grottkau .

As a result of the Second World War, Groß Karlshöh fell under Polish administration in 1945, like most of Silesia . It was subsequently renamed Karłowice Wielkie and joined the Silesian Voivodeship. The German population was largely expelled . In 1950 it was incorporated into the Opole Voivodeship. In 1999 the place came to the re-established Powiat Nyski .
