history

The Falkenberg, located near the town, was already settled in the Bronze Age ( Lausitz culture ). There was a Slavic castle in the same place in the 11th and 12th centuries. In 1251 the area came under German rule. In 1258, Lagow Castle came into the possession of Margrave Johann I ; in the following decades it was controversial between the bishops of Lebus , the Brandenburg margraves and the archbishops of Magdeburg.
Lagow was first mentioned in 1299 when the Brandenburg margraves Otto IV and Heinrich II transferred the castle to the knight Albrecht von Klepitz. The facility at that time was about 500 m northwest of the Johanniterburg, which still exists today, on the Falkenberg. The place belonged to the Brandenburg state of Sternberg, which was first mentioned in 1313 under this name.
Mid-14th century was Castle Lagow with the hanging thereon feudal privileges in the possession of the Order of St. John about that began after a short time to build a new castle on a hill between the Tschetschsee ( Polish Ciecz in) in the north and the Lagowsee South on a narrow isthmus.
At the foot of the Citadel an associated settlement for craftsmen and vassals, with defensive walls and two gates, Märkisches today Tor (originated polish Brama Marchijska ) and Polish Gate ( Polish Brama Polska was) called secured. At the end of the 14th century, a Hospitaller Commandery was set up at the castle , which belonged to the Sonnenburg Lordship . Lagow was one of the largest commanderies of the Order of St. John. From 1535 to 1571 Lagow belonged to Brandenburg-Küstrin , but then fell back to Kurbrandenburg. In 1569 Lagow was given city rights.
As part of Brandenburg Lagow came with this to Brandenburg-Prussia . During the Thirty Years War , Lagow was captured and destroyed by Sweden in 1640 . In 1726 the town charter was renewed; around 1800 the city was the smallest in Prussia for a while . The state of Sternberg became the Sternberg District as part of the division of Brandenburg into districts in 1747. In 1750 the town had 267 inhabitants, in 1850 450 inhabitants, and in 1925 630 inhabitants.
After the dissolution of the Commandery in 1811, Lagow Castle and its lands went into private ownership; feudal privileges were extinguished or terminated by the Edict of October 1807 and the Edict of Regulation of 1811 . With the formation of the districts in Prussia from 1815, Lagow came to the administrative district of Frankfurt as part of the Sternberg district . The town was the seat of a royal chief forester and a rent office . The place developed into a popular summer retreat and climatic health resort with 3000 guests (1929).
Lagow belonged from the division of the Sternberg district from 1873 to 1945 to the Oststernberg district of the province of Brandenburg .
During the fighting towards the end of the Second World War in the spring of 1945, the castle and the village were not destroyed. After the war ended in 1945, Lagow was placed under Polish administration. Polish migrants settled here, some of them from areas east of the Curzon Line , which Poland had conquered after the First World War . The local residents - provided they had not fled - were subsequently evicted by the local Polish administrative authorities . The spelling of the place name of the small German town was changed to Łagów .
The coat of arms carried by the village to this day reminds of the centuries-long presence of the Johanniter in Lagow.
The main occupations of the population are currently agriculture and tourism .
