The small Wyseggo estate was founded on April 23, 1813. In 1905, the place now called Wysegga had 18 residents in two residential buildings. Until 1945 it was a place of residence within the community of Gawrzialken (1928 to 1945 Wilhelmsthal , Polish : Gawrzyjałki ) in the East Prussian district of Ortelsburg and was named "Klein Wilhelmsthal" after the parent community was renamed. The Klein Wilhelmsthal farm was last managed by Friedrich Sontowski .
