The place was mentioned in 1295 in the Liber fundationis episcopatus Vratislaviensis as "Twardowa". On July 13, 1305, a church was first mentioned on site. In 1603 Georg Twardawa was the owner of the patronage domain. The oldest entries in the parish chronicle date back to 1629. In 1835 the Marienhof farm was laid out. In 1865 the place counted together with the colony of Malkowitz 21 farmers, 33 gardeners and eight cottagers. At that time, the place had a two-class school with 125 students.
