It belonged then to the Duchy of Oświęcim, a fee of the Kingdom of Bohemia.

In the document of Jan IV of Oświęcim issued on 21 January 1457 in which the duke agreed to sell the Duchy of Oświęcim to the Crown of the Kingdom of Poland the village was mentioned as Lanky.

[2] The territory of the Duchy of Oświęcim was eventually incorporated into Poland in 1564 and formed Silesian County of Kraków Voivodeship.

Upon the First Partition of Poland in 1772 it became part of the Austrian Kingdom of Galicia.

It was annexed by Nazi Germany at the beginning of World War II, and afterwards it was restored to Poland.
