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.
