Falkenhagen/Milocice
Falkenhagen was founded in the 1300's by the Teutonic Order for the
defense of its western border. However, the border location brought
nothing good to the village and already in 1415 it was attacked by
Pomerania and obliterated. The abandoned site was only re-settled
in the 1500's when the Massow family appropriated the area witout
much opposition. The beautiful church built in 1771 still stands here.
