history

Krasny Kholm railway station

The place was first mentioned in 1518 as the village of Spas na Cholmu ("Savior [church] on the hill"). Until 1764 the village was owned by the nearby Nikolaus-Antonius-Kloster . At the beginning of the 17th century the village and monastery were destroyed by Polish-Lithuanian troops.

In 1776 the place received city rights. Probably at the same time it was renamed Krasny Cholm ("red" or "beautiful hill").

In 1899, the railway line from Sonkowo reached the city, which made it a commercial center.
