history

In the 14th century, Matthies Scholte received 25 Hufen Land from the Teutonic Knight Henning Schindekopf according to Kulmer law with the obligation to do military service with plate armor . Next to the lent land was a Prussian village with an area of ​​19 Hufen. In 1437 the village was mentioned under the name of Blandau with three free goods and a total of 11 Hufen. The next mention of the manor took place in 1552, still with 25 hooves in size. Previously, in 1537, the Prussian village had been given to Martin Kanacher under the name of Blandau . The von Scholte estate is no longer mentioned after 1552, it may have merged into Arklitten (Arklity) . In January 1945 the Red Army took the area. As a result of the war, Blandau became part of Poland as Błędowo . In 2010 the village had 59 inhabitants.
