In 1785, Groß Kellen is described as a royal village with a church, a water mill and 79 fireplaces (households).

Due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the population in the Allenstein voting area , to which Groß Köllen belonged, voted on July 11, 1920 on whether it would continue to belong to East Prussia (and thus to Germany) or join Poland. In Groß Köllen, 640 residents voted to remain with East Prussia, Poland did not receive any votes.
In 1945 Groß Köllen belonged to the district of Rößel in the district of Allenstein (before 1939 in the district of Königsberg ) in the province of East Prussia of the German Empire .
Towards the end of the Second World War , the region was occupied by the Red Army in the spring of 1945 . In the summer of 1945 Groß Köllen was placed under Polish administration by the Soviet occupying power in accordance with the Potsdam Agreement, along with the southern half of East Prussia and all of West Prussia . The Poles introduced the place name Kolno for Groß Köllen . Had not fled as far as the German citizens, they were in the aftermath of major Köllen sold .
