In the Third Partition of Poland, in 1795, the town was annexed by Prussia, and in 1807 it passed to the newly formed Polish Duchy of Warsaw. After its disestablishment, in 1815, it passed to so-called Congress Poland within the Russian Partition of Poland. After the massacres of Polish protesters committed by the Russians in Warsaw in 1861, Polish demonstrations and clashes with Russian soldiers took place in Kaletnik.[3] The local church was burned down during World War I in 1915, and afterwards a new brick church in the Neoclassical style was built.[2] Another notable historic building is the cemetery chapel.[2] After World War I, Poland regained independence and control of the village.
