The village of Podewils was once the seat of the ancestral home of the von Podewils family , whose members managed Podewils (and other Pomeranian estates such as Krangen near Pollnow ) for over 500 years until the 19th century . Around 1890 the farmer Max von Hewald (founder of an orphanage in Leipzig) bought the Podewils estate and made it flourish. From 1890 he had the neo-Gothic castle built. After his death in 1908, the Gustav von Holtzendorff family bought it and managed it until 1945.

In 1939 Podewils was a 2,714.6 hectare community with 607 residents. The districts of Groß Reichow ( Rychowo ), Neuhof ( Trzebiec ) and Krampe ( Krępa ) belonged to the municipality .

Podewils was before the Second World War in the county Belgard (Persante) and formed with Rarfin and Zietlow the Office Rarfin and also belonged to the registry office Rarfin. The competent district court was Belgard.

The last mayor before 1945 was Max Dallmann.

On March 3, 1945, the Red Army occupied the place. After the region around Groß Tychow was placed under Polish administration after the end of the war, together with Western Pomerania, the expulsion of the Germans and settlement with Polish and Ukrainian immigrants, who had mainly belonged to minorities in areas east of the Curzon Line , began in autumn 1945 . These areas were conquered after the end of the First World War in the Polish-Soviet War (1919–1921) and had to be ceded to the Soviet Union after the Second World War. The displacement of the local population continued until 1947. Podewils was renamed Podwilcze and is now in the rural municipality of Białogard.
