, although the village itself is not named in the monastery documents in 1386. The village was probably a retreat of Gunter of Bronikowa, a descendant of the Sorbian noble family Pradel (Predel), who arrived in the fourteenth century.

The first record of the name of the village appears in district court records of Nakło nad Notecią ("Nakel" in German) dated 4 August 1453, naming Jan de Guncerzewy (John from the village Guncerzewy). From the start the site was strongly "connected" with Samsieczno and its buildings were developed on the plan ulicówki. Since the beginning the village was owned by nobles who were under an obligation to participate in military expeditions.

Since the mid-fifteenth century the village was property of the Guncerzewskich family. In 1578 the village belonged to the family of Siedlce and Turzyńskich Szczutowskich. In the mid-seventeenth century, the village was taken over by the family Działyński. At the end of the seventeenth century, the heir was Michael Działyński, Lord of Chełm. At the beginning of the eighteenth century, the lands in the village go to the family Potuliccy. The last heiress of the village is Angela Constance Countess Alexander Potulicka.
