The place is possibly identical to the place "Crimtzowe", which is mentioned in an exchange deed from 1248, with which the Pomeranian Duke Barnim I awarded the Land of Kolberg to Bishop Wilhelm von Cammin and in return received the Land of Stargard as a fief . Soon after 1300 Kremzow must have come into the possession of the Wedel family . This temporarily owned four stately residences, which were inhabited by different branches of the family, including two old castles. In 1321 Conrado de Cremzow and his brothers received compensation from the Pomeranian dukes for war damage they had suffered. In the 16th century Lupold von Wedel traveled from Kremzow a. a. the holy land .

In the 18th century, the entire Wedels property in Kremzow was in one hand. One of the old castles, which was surrounded by water and of which ruins still remain, was in the Ihna. The old castle in the village was used as a granary as early as the 18th century. Around 1780 there was in Kremzow next to the castle ruins in the Ihna a farm, seven farmers, 13 cottages , an inn, a blacksmith, a schoolmaster and 54 households. In the old castle in the village there was a distillery around 1860 . Towards the end of the 20th century, the 5,000-acre Majorat Kremzow was placed under state administration for a while because of the over-indebtedness of its owner.

At the beginning of the 1930s the district of Kremzow had an area of ​​14.1 km², and there were a total of 58 inhabited houses in the municipality where Kremzow was the only place to live.

Until 1945 Kremzow belonged to the district of Pyritz in the province of Pomerania .

Shortly before the end of the Second World War , the region around Kremzow was defended by the Belgian SS combat group 'Wallonia' until March 2, 1945, which withdrew to Stargard on March 3. Then Kremtsov was captured and occupied by the Soviet Army . As a result of the war, the place became part of Poland as Krępcewo .
