Historical outline:

The former name: Pansin

The castle in Pęzino arose at the turn of the XIVth and the XVth cent. at the place of the knightly borough belonging to the Borkows (the Borcks). They sold in 1382 the village along with the castle to a dignitary of the Order of St. John, Bernard von Schulenburg. In the years of 1483-1492 Pęzino performed the function of the commandery, whereas in 1493 the castle returned into the hands of the Borcks. They were the owners of the building until 1703, when they sold it to the family of the Puttkamers.
