History
The town was first documented in 1295 under its German name Sonnenburg. The Knights Templar held a settlement in the city. In 1312, the Margrave of Brandenburg and the Bishop of Lebus were co-owners. Henning and Arnold von Uechtenhagen received Sonnenberg as lien and in 1341 built the first castle. Since the 15th century the city was closely connected to the Knights Hospitaller, who purchased it from Margrave Friedrich I. of Brandenburg. The castle became the seat of the Bailiwick Brandenburg and the order extended its city greatly, with a new church, built between 1474-1522 and a new castle between 1545-1564.
In 1945 eastern Brandenburg was taken over by Communist Soviets and Sonnenburg was renamed Słońsk by the new Polish administration.
