history

The Owińska Cistercian Monastery was built between 1242 and 1252 (it was completely remodeled in the 18th century and the church of St. John the Baptist belongs to the monastery ). In 1294 the place was mentioned as Ovensko .

With the second Polish partition , Owińska fell to Prussia in 1793 . The 12,000 hectare Owinsk rule with the associated localities was acquired by the wealthy merchant and canon Sigmund Otto Joseph von Treskow in 1797.

The Provincial Insane Sanatorium in Owinsk was built near the preserved monastery buildings on the site of earlier farm buildings from 1869 to 1874 .

The railway line was opened in 1905. After the First World War, the place came to Poland due to the Versailles Treaty.

In the autumn of 1939, under German occupation, murders of 1,100 patients at the clinic were committed. After that, the SS used the institution's buildings. The SS Unterführerschule Posen-Treskau was established there. After the air raids on Braunschweig in 1944 burned down the SS Junk School located in Braunschweig Castle , the school operations were relocated to Treskau Castle. The name of the school was SS Junker School Posen-Treskau. From August 30, 1943 to January 20, 1945, there was also a satellite camp of the Groß-Rosen concentration camp on site .

The clinic buildings have been empty and derelict since 1993. A use is being developed for the castle.
