history
According to the historical village shape, Gatz is a small alley village . The castle wall at the Gatzer Mühle in Motztal dates back to prehistoric times . In 1463 the place was owned by the von Below family , who owned it for a total of 408 years. The manor house, built towards the end of the 14th century, was a three-sided moated castle , built in the upper area as a half-timbered building.
In 1772, land improvements were made and new farmers settled on the basis of special royal Prussian funds. Around 1780 the village came from the district of Schlawe i. Pom. in the district of Stolp . At the time, the place had a Vorwerk , a water mill, a lime kiln and a brick, three farmers, two half-farmers, three Kossäten , a forge and a school building.
In 1871 Wilhelm von Zitzewitz auf Zitzewitz acquired Gatz and a share of Nitzlin (now in Polish: Nosalin) from Captain Valerian von Below . In 1925 the property passed to his son Heinrich von Zitzewitz , from him to his son Wilhelm von Zitzewitz , the last master of Zitzewitz.
Towards the end of the Second World War , Gatz was occupied by Soviet troops on March 7, 1945 and, after the end of the war, was placed under Polish administration by the Soviet Union, along with all of Western Pomerania . Looting and other attacks against the village population occurred. Gatz received the Polish place name Gać . In the period that followed, the entire local village population was expelled .
Later, 95 villagers displaced from Gatz in the FRG and 123 in the GDR were identified.
The village belonged to the Stolp Voivodeship from 1946 to 1998 .
