The territory of Gdańsk Pomerania formed part of Poland since the establishment of the state in the 10th century. A wooden church existed at the site since the 12th century. In 1309, the area was annexed by the State of the Teutonic Order. in the province of Royal Prussia in the Greater Poland Province. In 1768, Ernest Konopacki obtained permission from the King of Poland Stanisław August Poniatowski to build a brass products factory.
