==History==<br />
First mentioned in a 1345 deed, the settlement became the seat of a commandry of the [[Knights Hospitaller]], expelled from nearby [[Rurka, Gryfino County|Rörchen]] (Rurka) in 1377, on the invitation of the [[Duchy of Pomerania|Pomeranian dukes]]. After the [[protestant Reformation]], the Wildenbruch estates were held by the noble [[House of Putbus]]. Upon the [[Thirty Years' War]] and the 1648 [[Peace of Westphalia]], the area became part of [[Swedish Pomerania]].<br />

The [[Secularisation|secularised]] commandry was ceded to the [[House of Hohenzollern|Hohenzollern]] electorate of [[Margraviate of Brandenburg|Brandenburg]] by the 1679 [[Treaty of Saint-Germain-en-Laye (1679)|Peace of Saint-Germain]]. Wildenbruch was purchased by Princess [[Sophia Dorothea of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg]] (1636–1689), the second wife of the "Great Elector" [[Frederick William, Elector of Brandenburg|Frederick William]], who united it with her Brandenburg estates of [[Schwedt]] and [[Vierraden]] to provide for her descendants of the [[Brandenburg-Schwedt]] secundogeniture. She had the Wildenbruch fortress rebuilt in a [[Baroque architecture|Baroque]] style.<br />
<br />
Wildenbruch was bequested to Dorothea's first-born son Margrave [[Philip William, Margrave of Brandenburg-Schwedt|Philip William]] (1669–1711) and her grandson [[Frederick William, Margrave of Brandenburg-Schwedt|Frederick William]] (1700–1771), who died at the castle. The last of the Brandenburg-Schwedt owners was his younger brother [[Frederick Henry, Margrave of Brandenburg-Schwedt|Frederick Henry]] (1709–1788), Wildenbruch fell back to the royal Hohenzollern main line.<br />
<br />
The last Schwedt heiress [[Margravine Elisabeth Louise of Brandenburg-Schwedt|Elisabeth Louise]] (1739–1820) had married her uncle [[Prince Augustus Ferdinand of Prussia]] in 1755; their son [[Prince Louis Ferdinand of Prussia (1772–1806)|Prince Louis Ferdinand]] gave the title of ''von Wildenbruch'' to his illegitimate son [[Ludwig von Wildenbruch|Ludwig]]. Confirmed by King [[Frederick William III of Prussia|Frederick William III]] in 1810, the title was bequested to Ludwig's son, the author [[Ernst von Wildenbruch]] and his descendants.<br />
<br />
Wildenbruch was incorporated into the Prussian [[Province of Pomerania (1815–1945)|Province of Pomerania]]. After [[World War II]], the area passed to the [[People's Republic of Poland|Republic of Poland]] and the remaining German population was [[Flight and expulsion of Germans from Poland during and after World War II|expelled]] (see [[History of Pomerania]]). Though declared a national monument, the former Hohenzollern castle decayed. Recently, some efforts were made towards its preservation.<br />
