history
In the XIII. In the 15th century, today's village was still a Vorwerk , which at that time belonged to the Cistercian monastery of Zarnowitz (Polish: Żarnowiec ). In 1785 Sweczin is referred to as a royal leasehold farm with six fireplaces (households). In the years 1772–1920 and 1939–1942 the village was named Schwetzin . From 1942 to 1945 it was called Raueneck .
On September 17, 1462, one of the decisive battles of the Thirteen Years War took place in the immediate vicinity of Schwetzin . In the battle of Schwetzin the troops of the Teutonic Order under Fritz von Raveneck met the allied forces of the Prussian Confederation , to which Danzig and other West Prussian cities belonged, and the Kingdom of Poland under the leadership of Piotr Dunin . The victory of the allies led to the division of Prussia for around 300 years, into an autonomous western part, which had voluntarily placed itself under the patronage of the Crown of Poland, on the one hand, and the eastern part remaining to the Teutonic Order on the other. This dichotomy was agreed in the Peace of Thorne of 1466 .
Through the first partition of Poland-Lithuania in 1772, western Prussia with the area around Putzig and Neustadt under Frederick II of Prussia was united with the eastern part of the Kingdom of Prussia. Schwetzin has belonged to the Prussian state ever since.
In the 19th century the soil was parceled out here.
Before 1919 Schwetzin belonged to the circle Puck in the administrative district of Gdansk the province of West Prussia of the German Reich .
After the First World War , due to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty , the village had to be ceded to Poland for the purpose of establishing the Polish Corridor , with effect from January 20, 1920 and without a referendum. With the attack on Poland in 1939, the removed territory of the Polish Corridor was returned to the Reich. It was assigned to the Reichsgau Danzig-West Prussia , to which Schwetzin belonged until 1945.
Towards the end of the Second World War , the region was occupied by the Red Army in the spring of 1945 . Where German citizens had not fled, they were in the period that followed sold .
In the years 1975-1998 the village was administratively part of the Gdansk Voivodeship .
