Wierzchucino, Rural village in Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland

Wierzchucino extends across the northern Polish landscape, situated 94 kilometers west of Gdansk and 5 kilometers southeast of Krokowa administrative center.

In 1257, Duke Swietopelk II of Pomerania granted Wierzchucino to the Cistercian nunnery in Zarnowiec, with King Przemysl II confirming this transfer in 1295.

The Sacred Heart and St. Rosalia of Palermo Church stands as a Gothic Revival structure, representing the religious heritage of this Pomeranian settlement.

The village maintains a population of 1,462 residents, with 745 males and 717 females, operating under the postal code 84-113 within the Krokowa municipality.

During World War II, the village contained a labor camp connected to the Stalag II-B facility, while today it houses a memorial to Polish-Kashubian activist Antoni Miotk.
