Town hall building (former Klein-Gaffron Castle).

Raudten was first mentioned in documents around 1209. The town was raised before 1339. The place became known in 1936 through an exhibition in Berlin where a mill drive from Raudten demonstrated new streamlined blades for a windmill based on a patent by Kurt Bilau .

Until 1945 Raudten belonged to the district of Lüben in the administrative district of Liegnitz of the Prussian province of Lower Silesia of the German Empire .

After the end of the Second World War , large parts of Lower Silesia including the district of Lüben were placed under Polish administration by the Soviet Union . Raudten received the Polish name Rudná and lost its town charter . In the following years the local German population was expelled from Raudten by the local Polish administrative authority .
