Impressions:
Karlshof is a bit away from the road from Gollnow to Lübzin and was on my journey probably the village, which looks less like it was before WW2. Some ugly new buildings, flats for rent, probably builded in the 50s-60s let the village doesn't look too good....
The old church in the middle of the village doesn't exist anymore, therefore a new one at the north edge. I don't have actual figures about the population, but i guess it's not much less then before the war (200-300). East of Karlshof was it's part Blankenfelde, but not much left of it.
Sorry, but compared to the romantic villages in this region like Harmsdorf or Amalienhof this Karlshof looks somehow hopeless...

If someone speaks polish: Here is a description of the village from the polish Gollnow-Homepage:
