It was the site of a massacre of Polish insurgents of the November Uprising committed by the Prussians on 27 January 1832.[3] Prussian troops opened fire on the Polish insurgents, killing eight and wounding twelve, another four of whom eventually died of wounds.[3] There is a monument to the victims of the massacre in Fiszewo, and an annual rally is held to commemorate them.[4]
