A really beautiful swimming lake with an outdoor pool, boat rental, and diving tower. In summer, it's the hotspot for anyone who doesn't fancy crowded Baltic Sea beaches. Right next door is the hotel „Haus am See“ – perfect for sitting on the veranda in the evening with a beer and watching the mosquitoes bite.

The history of the city dates back to 1127, when the Slavs built a defensive stronghold in the Randow River valley. The first mention of a defensive structure in Löcknitz dates back to 1212, and in 1242 a bridge was built in place of the ford. For years, the border between Pomerania and Brandenburg running through here justifies the fortified character of the town. Once Löcknitz belonged to the Pomeranian princes, once to the Branderburgians. In the book Medieval Castles of Western Pomerania, Zbigniew Radacki wrote that the stronghold belonged to the bishops of Kamień. In 1280, a document on the division of the Kołobrzeg land was signed in the "castrum Lokenitz". In 1390, Bishop Filip von Rehberg renounced the castle to the princes of Szczecin, who gave it to the Wusses, knights from Lębork, "hus civitas i terra Lockenitze" for 3,000 marks towards the debt. Around 1400, the stronghold received a brick form, and in 1479 it came into the possession of the Schulenburg family. Then the place was rebuilt many times, in the mid-16th century it was converted into a Renaissance-style manor house. It lost its strategic importance in 1720 after the annexation of Brandenburg and Pomerania to Prussia.

Directly on the shore of Lake Lebehner See, a new representative manor house was built between 1907 and 1912, commissioned by the Cologne cement manufacturer Carl Königs and his wife Ursula, née von Dewitz. The old manor house then served as the estate manager's house. The previous owners of the Königs, who owned the estate from 1905 until the expropriation in 1945, were the Brandeck-Nadrense families, who sold it to the von Ramin family, who in turn sold it to the Gamp brothers. After 1945, both houses were initially used as refugee accommodation, and later also for municipal purposes and rural consumption. Today they are private property. The renovation of the manor house has started.
