Gilgenburg was heavily damaged during World War II . As a result of the Potsdam Conference , the town was transferred from Germany to Poland in 1945 and had its German inhabitants expelled and replaced with Poles , many themselves expellees from Polish areas annexed by the Soviet Union . The settlement , renamed Dąbrówno , had its town charter revoked during the process . Because much of its medieval layout still exists , including its church and parts of its fortifications , Dąbrówno began to be reconstructed during the 1990s
