The village was founded by Polish diplomat Andrzej Rej in 1626 for Protestant settlers from Brandenburg and Pomerania.[2]

It was built of larch wood for Calvinist community. The present shape of the building originates in the 1820 reconstruction. There are coats of arms of the Reformed nobles displayed in the church porch. Rejowiec is also the site of a large fuel terminal.[3]
