history

Like Dargislaff , Schwedt and some other old Wachholz fiefs, Molstow belonged to the villages that were still owned by the Belbuck Monastery around the middle of the 15th century and Jobst Wachholz in 1467 in exchange for the so-called Wachholzhagen goods from the abbot of the monastery , Nikolaus von Winterfeld. The two Wachholtz fiefs Molstow and Groß-Jarchow came after the death of Captain Jakob Ewald v. Wachholtz to his sons, George Wilhelm and Ewald Christoph, who owned them undivided for a while. After the death of the first of the two brothers, Ewald Christoph von Wachholtz was the sole owner of the settlement on January 6, 1775 with his three sisters, who were then a lieutenant in the Hackescher Infantry Regiment.

Since 1776, the landowner had been subsidized with 2900 thalers in royal grants - at an irreplaceable annual interest of 58 thalers, which was later reduced to 28 thalers and 20 silver groschen - in order to be able to reclaim desert and swampy terrain. The Carolinenhof sheep farm came into being with two kossas and four Büdner families. After 1780 there were two farms in the Molstow estate , including the sheep farm, five farmers and a schoolmaster.

Ewald Christoph v. Wachholtz sold the Molstow estate, with the exception of the farm in Schwedt, which also belonged to the estate district, to Matthias Julius v. Laurenz, who still owned it in 1811. The latter sold it in 1811 to Friedrich Wilhelm Neste, who died in 1854 and left it to his widow as sole heir. As part of the regulation of the landlord's and rural conditions in the first quarter of the 19th century, the five associated farms were largely bought up by the landowners and incorporated into the estate district. In 1869 the estate was owned by Carl Freiherr v. Blittersdorf, who had his permanent residence there.

At the end of the Second World War , the region was conquered by the Red Army and then - like all of Western Pomerania - placed under Polish administration. Unless they had already fled, the German population of Molstow was expelled from 1946 by Polish militiamen who had immigrated after the war . The German manor district of Molstow was renamed Mołstowo .
