The village has a population of 120 people. It is administered as part of the village of Komorniki (Komornik).[2]

History

The village's name was first recorded in 1783, when there were 26 people living there. It comes from the mill that was located in the village ("Neumühle" and "Nowy Młyn" both meaning "new mill").
