== History ==
[[File:Tuczno, kościół parafialny WNMP.jpg|upright|left|thumb|Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary]]
The first written evidence of Tuczno dates from year 1306. In 1338, [[Tuczno Castle]] was erected.<ref name="sanatoriumtuczno.org">Szpital w Tucznie: [http://www.sanatoriumtuczno.org/tuczno_uk.html 1338], accessdate: June 3, 2017</ref>

During the [[Middle Ages]] the town was variously controlled by [[Kingdom of Poland|Poland]], [[Duchy of Pomerania|Pomerania]], [[Margraviate of Brandenburg|Brandenburg]] ([[Neumark]]) and the [[State of the Teutonic Order]]. From 1466 ([[Second Peace of Thorn]]), when it was ceded by the Teutonic Order, Tuczno became definitively part of the Polish [[Poznań Voivodeship (14th century – 1793)|Poznań Voivodeship]]. From 1569 it was part of the [[Greater Poland Province, Crown of the Kingdom of Poland|Greater Poland Province]] of the [[Crown of the Kingdom of Poland]] within the [[Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth]].

In 1772 it was annexed by [[Kingdom of Prussia|Prussia]] in the [[First Partition of Poland]], becoming part of the [[Netze District]], then the [[Province of West Prussia]] ([[Province of Prussia]] 1829–1878, then West Prussia again). In 1871 Prussia became part of the [[German Empire]].<ref name="Tuczno, Zachodniopomorskie, Poland">{{cite web|url=http://www.events-city.com/places/tucznozachodniopomorskiepoland-106326.html|title=Tuczno, Zachodniopomorskie, Poland|author=|date=|accessdate=}}</ref> After [[World War I]] it was part of the [[rump state|rump]] of West Prussia which remained with [[Weimar Republic|Weimar Germany]] – [[Posen-West Prussia]] – and was incorporated into the [[Province of Pomerania (1815–1945)|Province of Pomerania]] by the Nazis in 1938. It became part of Poland again in 1945 as part of the [[Recovered Territories]].
