According to the historical form of the village, Damno is a large street village . On the steep bank of the Łupawa there is a well-preserved castle wall near the old mill.

Dammen originally consisted of two parts, which were called Wendisch Dammen and Groß Dammen . The German colonists lived in the latter , the Kashubians lived in the Wendish part .

In 1419, Dammen was the Order of the Teutonic Knights . The village was owned by the von Schwaven , von Weiher and von Below families . In 1523 Mathias labune to dammen and Weigere tho groten Dmmen are called. In 1590 there were nine occupied and two desolate farms and four cottages . Gerd von Below sold it to Klaus Heinrich von Lettow in 1696 . It remained in the possession of this family for generations.

In 1784 Dammen had a Vorwerk , a preacher, a clerk, seven farmers, five Kossäten , an inn, a blacksmith, a water mill and the sheep named Gloddow (today Polish: Głodowo) on a total of 29 fires (homes). In 1800 Dammen belonged to the von Mitzlaff family .

In 1905 the rural community and the manor district of Dammen counted together 435 inhabitants. Their number rose to 440 by 190, was already 531 in 1933 and fell to 498 by 1939. In 1938 the manor Dammen with the Gloddow Vorwerk was 870 hectares, of which 745 hectares were arable land. At that time there were 19 farms in addition to the estate.

Until 1945 Dammen was a municipality in the district of Stolp in the administrative district of Köslin in the Prussian province of Pomerania . The community belonged with five other communities to the official and registry office district Bewersdorf (today Polish: Bobrowniki).

Towards the end of World War II , Dammen was occupied by the Red Army without a fight on the night of March 9, 1945 . In the summer of 1945 Dammen was placed under Polish administration together with the whole of Western Pomerania . The immigration of Polish civilians began. Numerous German men were taken to labor camps, mostly to Kolberg (Kołobrzeg). Dammen received the Polish place name Damno . In the summer of 1946, the local villagers were from Dammen sold .

Today's Damno is part of the Gmina Damnica in the powiat Słupski in the Pomeranian Voivodeship (1975-1998 Slupsk Voivodeship ). Damno had over 600 inhabitants in 2010.

The altar of this church was a work from 1708. The base of the altarpiece contained a carved representation of the Last Supper . Of particular value were two box-shaped altar candlesticks made of brass or gunmetal for twelve lights each in late Gothic shapes. In the Nuremberg-style brass baptismal font, the “ Annunciation ” was engraved with a double-row ornamental inscription around the middle relief . The Holy Communion chalice bore the year 1622.
