Drawno [ˈdravnɔ] (German: Neuwedell; Kashubian: Nowi Wedel) is a town in Choszczno County, West Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland, with 2,219 inhabitants as of December 2021.
In the 10th-11th centuries, using the suitable location between two lakes, a Slavic gród and a fishing village were established here.
[2] The settlement was a part of Poland during the reign of the first Polish rulers Mieszko I and Bolesław I the Brave.
Poland was to buy and re-incorporate Drawno and its surroundings, but eventually the Luxembourgs sold the city to the Teutonic Order.
During the Polish–Teutonic War (1431–35) Drawno rebelled against the Order to join Poland and recognized the Polish King as rightful ruler,[3] but after the Peace of Brześć Kujawski, the town, after receiving a guarantee of impunity for siding with Poland, returned to the rule of the Teutonic Knights,[4] although, as it turned out, for a short time - only until 1454.
