Former Fallen Memorial

In 1402 the village was first mentioned as a Skalander villa . The name is derived from the Polish word Skały ( rock ).

For the year 1668 a first school lesson is mentioned in Skalung. Teaching took place under the church father Peter Wrzesniak. The first stone school building was built in 1829. In 1845 the village consisted of a castle, an outbuilding, an evangelical school, a church and another 57 houses. In the same year, 533 people lived in Skalung, of which 44 were Catholic and five were Jewish. In 1861 there were 499 people living in Skalung. In 1874 the district of Skalung was founded. The first head of office was the Royal Chamberlain of Prittwitz-Gaffron. In 1888 the school building was expanded and a second class was added.

In 1908 the palace was expanded under Paul von Prittwitz. In 1932 the property was sold to the Upper Silesian Settlement Society. In 1933 there were 487 people in Skalung, and in 1939 there were 719 people. Until 1945 the village belonged to the Kreuzburg OS district

In 1945 the castle was destroyed. As a result of the Second World War, in 1945, like most of Silesia , Skalung came under Polish administration. The place was subsequently renamed Skałągi and joined the Silesian Voivodeship. In 1950 it was incorporated into the Opole Voivodeship. In 1999 the place came to the newly founded Powiat Kluczborski ( Kreuzburg district ).
