small but beautiful castle.

After the end of the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648), Löcknitz was largely in ruins, with only the castle and the fortifications and the castle mill remaining. The rivers Welse and Randow now formed the new border between Brandenburg and Swedish Pomerania. As a result, Löcknitz with its fortified castle became an important Brandenburg border fortress against Sweden after 1650.

The history of the town dates back to the Middle Ages. To this day, you can admire the church from 1738 and the farm, which includes a half-timbered family estate built in 1761 and 19th-century buildings of a distillery, a steam mill, a cowshed, two barns, a stable, a sheepfold and a stable for carriage horses. The farm buildings were built of both stone and baked brick.

The history of the city dates back to 1127, when the Slavs built a defensive stronghold in the Randow River valley. The first mention of a defensive structure in Löcknitz dates back to 1212, and in 1242 a bridge was built in place of the ford. For years, the border between Pomerania and Brandenburg running through here justifies the fortified character of the town. Once Löcknitz belonged to the Pomeranian princes, once to the Branderburgians. In the book Medieval Castles of Western Pomerania, Zbigniew Radacki wrote that the stronghold belonged to the bishops of Kamień. In 1280, a document on the division of the Kołobrzeg land was signed in the "castrum Lokenitz". In 1390, Bishop Filip von Rehberg renounced the castle to the princes of Szczecin, who gave it to the Wusses, knights from Lębork, "hus civitas i terra Lockenitze" for 3,000 marks towards the debt. Around 1400, the stronghold received a brick form, and in 1479 it came into the possession of the Schulenburg family. Then the place was rebuilt many times, in the mid-16th century it was converted into a Renaissance-style manor house. It lost its strategic importance in 1720 after the annexation of Brandenburg and Pomerania to Prussia.

The first mention of the town comes from the 13th century, when it belonged to the von Blankenburg family. Until 1521, the village was called Blankenburg. In 1554, the last owner of the estate - Amus von Blankenburg - sold it to Frederick von Ramin, the owner of Dobra Szczecińska. At that time, the village was given a new name - Stolzenburg, which means "lofty castle" During the Thirty Years' War, the village was deserted and the existing manor house was destroyed. Thanks to the von Ramin family, in 1662 the settlement of Glashütte was established near Stolec, with the oldest glassworks in Pomerania. In the years 1721–1727, Jürgen Bernard von Ramin, starosta of the Randow district, founded a new palace and established a park. In the years 1731–1735, a church was built, funded by the owner of the village. In 1872, the property became the property of a company of merchants, and then in 1888, after the bankruptcy of the company, it was taken over by a bank from Lübeck to cover the debts. In the first years of the 20th century, the estate was owned by Szczecin merchants. In 1900, a metal fence with an impressive neo-baroque gate with wrought-iron, richly decorated wings was built on the side of the road, partially preserved to this day. In 1939, the village had 440 inhabitants. After World War II, the palace was the headquarters of the Border Protection Forces, and then of the Border Guard. In the village there is a two-story palace, built in the style of baroque classicism, covered with a mansard roof. Nothing has survived from the former interior. A linden and chestnut alley leads to the palace. Around the palace there is a naturalistic park from the 19th century, in which there are, among others, wejmutka, hornbeams, blue and silver spruces, lindens, elms and yews. In the church cemetery there is a baroque monument with the image of Jürgen von Ramin. The estate covers 13 hectares of land.
