Resko

Resko, known in German as Regenwalde, lies on the Rega in Pomerania. An attempt to grant it town rights failed in 1255, but a charter followed later in the thirteenth century. Fire repeatedly damaged the town in the early modern period, with blazes recorded in 1593, 1630, 1659, 1694 and 1716. The Seven Years' War brought further destruction when Russian troops devastated the town and its town hall archive burned.
