In the years 1880 to 1910 the population increased from 821 in 1880 to 1010 in 1910, the majority were Polish-speaking (between 98.3% and 99%), German-speaking (1.2% in 1880) and Czech-speaking (1st , 1% in 1890). In 1910 93.3% were Roman Catholic, 6% Protestant, there were seven Jews.

In 1920, after the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy and the Polish-Czechoslovak border war , Mnich came to Poland. This was only interrupted by the occupation of Poland by the Wehrmacht in World War II , when it was called Mönnichau .
