Kruckow was first mentioned in a document in 1249 when Bishop Wilhelm of Cammin incorporated the village, along with others, into the Kartlow church parish.
In 1498, Bogislaw X enfeoffed Peter Podewils with Kruckow and Tentzerow. According to the Kahlden Hufenmatrikel, in 1631 Jürgen and Adam Kruckow owned four land hides in Kruckow.
In 1712, Joachim Friedrich von Podewils sold Kruckow, along with other villages, to Commissarius Franz von Glasenapp. In the inheritance division of 1738, his son Carl Friedrich von Glasenapp received the estate. Together with his five brothers, he acquired the four land hides of the Maltzahn property in Kruckow from Hans Bernd von Maltzahn. He died without heirs, and his brothers Peter and Felix von Glasenapp left the estates of Bentzin, Barkow, and Kruckow to Major General Karl Franz von Sobeck († 1779). The latter had married the only daughter of Felix von Glasenapp. Kruckow and Barkow went to their son, the Chamberlain Peter Franz Hans Ernst Freiherr von Sobeck, after a settlement in 1796.
According to a plan drawn up by Peter Joseph Lenné in 1840, Karl Freiherr von Sobeck had a landscape park laid out. In 1884, a manor house was built.
The last owner of the Kruckow estate until his forced expropriation and expulsion by the communists in 1945 was Alexander Freiherr von Sobeck. The manor house burned down in the post-war period in 1948 due to senseless arson and was destroyed to obtain building materials. Remains are still recognizable.
