history
The place was created in the 13th century at the latest. The place name Ellguth denoted places that were exempt from paying taxes and labor for a limited period of time. On February 3, 1337, the village was acquired by the Dominican Sisters of the Holy Spirit Monastery in Ratibor by donation and remained in their possession for centuries.
The place was mentioned in 1784 in the book Beytrage describing Silesia as Ellgut , belonged to the nunnery of Ratibor and was in the principality of Ratibor. At that time it had 66 inhabitants, ten farmers and two cottagers. With the secularization in Prussia in 1810, the Dominicans lost Ellguth as their property and the monastery was dissolved. In 1811 the place came under the rule of Ratibor, which gave it the addition of "Ducal". In 1865, Herzoglich Ellgoth had seven farms, two three-quarter farmers, two half-farmers and four cottages, as well as a blacksmith. The school was in Lubowitz.
In the referendum in Upper Silesia on March 20, 1921, 29 people eligible to vote voted for Upper Silesia to remain with Germany and 89 for membership in Poland. Duke Ellguth remained with the German Empire after the division of Upper Silesia . Until 1945 the place was in the district of Ratibor .
In 1945 the until then German place came under Polish administration and was then attached to the Silesian Voivodeship and renamed the Polish Ligota Książęca . In 1950 the place came to the Opole Voivodeship. In 1975 the place came to the Katowice Voivodeship. In 1999 the place came to the re-established powiat Raciborski and the Silesian Voivodeship.
