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.

some very big bumps! Either drive slowly, jump or fly 😁

A resting place at the start of the Rosówek-Staffelde bicycle route

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.

Here, 750 years ago, Cistercian monks began to use the water power of the small stream. Over the course of history and many wars, the mills were repeatedly destroyed and rebuilt. The Salvey mill, which was owned by Geesower LPG and was still in use as a grist and sawmill until 1992, most recently ran using engine power. The solar pioneer Gerd Hampel then bought the mill in 1996 and installed a solar system to generate clean energy. He also set up a museum to preserve the mill as a technical monument of regional historical importance. The penultimate owners took over the mill in 2008 and founded a new association to ensure the mill's continued existence. The mill is now primarily used as an event location.
