Until 1772 Thörichthof was located in what was known as Royal Prussia (also known as Polish Prussia) in the Kingdom of Poland. The First Partition of Poland in 1772 resulted in the creation of a new province in 1773, called West Prussia, in which Thörichthof was located. Thörichthof was situated in the district (Kreis) of Marienburg until the end of World War I, when it came under the jurisdiction of the German province of East Prussia.

In 2012 Thörichthof was a village in the administrative district of Gmina Stare Pole, within Malbork County, Pomeranian Voivodeship.
