Already during the time of the Teutonic Order , the village became known for the personal story of suffering and the extraordinary religious zeal of the farmer's daughter Dorothea Swartze, who was born here . When the monastic state collapsed, the village came under the autonomous Prussian royal share and after the first partition of Poland in 1772 to the Kingdom of Prussia .
Around 1785 the farming village of Groß Montau had a Catholic church and 41 campfire sites (households). In the 19th century, Groß Montau was known for its extensive plum plantations; Several thousand tons of plums were shipped abroad from there every year. In 1855 the village was flooded and destroyed as a result of dam bursts.
Until 1920, Groß Montau was part of the Marienburg district in West Prussia . When the Polish Corridor and the Free City of Danzig were formed on West Prussian territory after the First World War , Groß Montau was assigned to the newly established district of Großes Werder in the Free City of Danzig in 1920 . Since 1939 Groß Montau belonged to the district of Danzig in the Reichsgau Danzig-West Prussia of the German Empire .
Towards the end of the Second World War , the region with Groß Montau was occupied by the Red Army in the spring of 1945 . In the summer of 1945, Groß Montau was placed under Polish administration by the Soviet occupying power in accordance with the Potsdam Agreement, along with all of West Prussia and the southern half of East Prussia . As far as the German inhabitants of the village had not fled, most of them were subsequently expelled from Groß Montau by the local Polish administrative authorities .
