history

Gut Augusthof was built on June 29, 1841 from the dismantling of Fresien and was one of eight dismantling operations in the East Prussian village of Sczepanken (1938 to 1945 Stauchwitz , Polish: Szczepankowo ) in the Ortelsburg district , to which it belonged until 1945.

In the aftermath of the war, the village and all of southern East Prussia were transferred to Poland in 1945. It received the Polish name form "Augustowo" and is now a settlement (Polish Osada ) within the rural community Dźwierzuty (Mensguth , village) in the powiat Szczycieński ( Ortelsburg district ), until 1998 the Olsztyn Voivodeship , since then part of the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship .
