Remnants of the former estate

history

From prehistory, a stone box grave was found in the area around the village . It proves that people lived here in the Bronze Age .

The area in which the village of Lestin later emerged belonged in the middle of the 13th century to the Riman heathland ("desertum, quod vocatur Riman"), which Duke Wartislaw III. donated to the newly founded Marienbusch monastery in 1240 .

The village itself was first mentioned in a document in 1269 with the place name Lestzin , in a confirmation of ownership from Duke Barnim I for the Belbuck monastery . In the meantime, the village must have been founded and ownership must have passed from Marienbusch Monastery to Belbuck Monastery.

Lestin is recorded on the Lubin map from 1618 . In modern times Lestin appeared as a feudal manor of the Manteuffel family . In 1655 it was owned by a Wilke von Manteuffel . Later, a distinction was made between the parts Lestin A and Lestin B, which were temporarily in different hands, but at times were also combined in one hand. The property on neighboring Damitz was connected with Lestin .

According to tradition, the Manteuffel family is said to have owned another castle here in Lestin in addition to their castle in Kölpin , namely in the Truneck corridor . The field name Truneck was not used in folk etymology as a derivation of Trau! interpreted. Remains of this castle complex are said to have been visible until the 20th century.

In Ludwig Wilhelm Brüggemann's Detailed Description of the Duchy of Western and Eastern Pomerania (1784) Lestin was listed among the noble estates of the Principality of Cammin . At that time there were two farms in Lestin , namely the two estate shares, two shepherds, a water mill and two lumberjacks, a total of twelve households (“fire places”).

At the beginning of the 19th century, Strebelow , about 2 kilometers north of Lestin, was founded as a wooden hut of the manor in Lestin. Strebelow was later run as a Vorwerk of the manor.

Around 1862 Lestin consisted of the manor with its two parts, the Vorwerk Schäferei (later renamed Ewaldshof and received) and two wooden cottages. At that time Lestin had a total of 10 residential buildings and 19 farm buildings. Soon afterwards, the Freienfelde Vorwerk (initially Vorwerk I ) was laid out about two kilometers southeast of the manor .

In Lestin there are still remnants of the Manteuffel hereditary burial with an extension of 9 acres, which according to the will of the family from 1866 will remain in the possession of the Manteuffel family for eternity , as recorded in the land register of Körlin .

Hereditary funeral of the Manteuffel family

In 1884 the manor was owned by a member of the Glasenapp family who had leased it at the time. In 1892 he managed the estate himself, but soon afterwards he sold it to the mill owner Gustav Gaugner in Regenwalde .

Between 1903 and 1907 the previous manor Lestin was parceled out. This completely changed the character of Lestin: Several farms were built, most of which were laid out on the Chaussee in the direction of the neighboring village of Damitz . About two kilometers west of the manor, a single farm was laid out, which was named Grünhaus . The previous Vorwerk Strebelow was sold and the economic connection to the previous property was dissolved. The previous Vorwerk Freienfelde was sold to the forestry treasury, who reforested the associated lands and built a forester's house in Freienfelde. The economic changes were reflected politically, the previous manor district became a newly founded rural community . In addition, an inn and a school were built along the road to Damitz, around which the new village center was formed.

Until 1945 Lestin formed a municipality in the district of Kolberg-Körlin in the administrative district of Köslin in the province of Pomerania . In addition to the village of Lestin, the municipality also included the Forsthaus Freienfelde , Grünhaus , Lestiner Krugplatz and Strebelow residential areas .

At the beginning of March 1945 the Red Army moved into Lestin. The German population was expropriated and replaced by Poles. Then the Soviet power set up a military airfield south of Freienfelde . After the end of the Second World War , the region was placed under Polish administration in 1945, together with all of Western Pomerania. In 1973 Lestin came to the newly formed large community Gmina Rymań .
