A surviving document records that the Pomeranian dukes granted Reskowo, together with its lake, to the church in Chmielno as an endowment. In the second half of the 16th century, Reskowo belonged to the Norbertine convent in Żukowo. These are two distinct ecclesiastical connections in the village’s history.

Another historical feature is the archaeological site C-173: a flat cemetery dating from the Early Iron Age. Reskowo therefore offers both ecclesiastical connections and an archaeological point of interest for understanding its history.
