History

Modliszewice (lit. village of mantis) is first mentioned in documents from the 13th century, and in Liber Beneficiorum Łaski (vol. I, 701). In the 15th century, the land was owned by feudal lord Andrzej Modliszewski [pl]

The village is home to Modliszewice Manor [pl], a 16th century manor owned by feudal lord Andrzeij Modliszewski.[6] The manor was purchased by bishop Jan Lipski in the 17th century,[7] but it was partially destroyed and was abandoned in the 19th century, and its remnants are still standning in the village.[8]

In 2022, the government renovated more than half a kilometer of dilapidated and decaying roads in the town.
