The small town, called Peitschendorfsch Werder after 1785 , was founded in 1401 and originally consisted only of a medium-sized farm. 750 meters to the northwest there was a sawmill on the lakeshore , which was of national importance. Until 1945 Peitschendorfswerder was a place to live in the municipality of Peitschendorf ( Piecki in Polish ) in the East Prussian district of Sensburg . In 1905 the place had 21 inhabitants.
