    After the Second Partition of Poland, the surrounding areas were incorporated into Prussia, but not for long.

    After Napoleon's fall, the border between Prussia and Russia was finally moved and ran between the lakes: Kownackie, Suszewskie, Budzisławskie and Powidzkie. The areas east of the border fell under the rule of Tsarist Russia, and the western area was incorporated into the Kingdom of Prussia. The shifting of the border resulted in restrictions on free movement between the partitions. To cross the border, you had to obtain a special pass, the so-called ticket.

    A very important border point was Anastazewo. The Prussian-Russian border was located here, and for this reason a border crossing with a customs office was established here.

    In connection with the functioning of the border crossing between the partitions, it was necessary to organize a customs post. The Prussian one was located in a tall building built of red brick in a characteristic Prussian style, and it was located right by the road. Another interesting building is of course the Russian watchtower, which is a few dozen meters away in the tiny village of Salamonowo. It was the road between these two watchtowers that marked the borders between the partitions.
