Łącko village church
The village church in Łącko (German Lanzig ) in the Gmina Postomino (Pustamin) is a three-aisled hall church , which was probably built in the 15th century.
Geographical location
The church is located on the village green in the old town center of Łącko in the middle of the former churchyard. The village on the banks of the Jezioro Wicko (Vietzker See) can be reached in 23 kilometers from Darłowo (Rügenwalde) via the voivodship road 203 in the direction of Ustka (Stolpmünde) via the Drozdowo (Drosedow) - Rusinowo (Rützenhagen) and Korlino (Körlin) junction .
building
The former Lanzig parish church is built on field stone foundations in bricks. Field stones are worked into the brickwork of the outer walls. The interior is covered with wood, the pillars have an octagonal cross-section.
The tower opens to the interior of the church with a large pointed arch . It is crowned by an octagonal, pointed helmet.
On the south side of the church there is an extension that is closed off by a flat arched barrel vault . In the years 1855 to 1860 the church was completely renovated, with the windows also being vaulted in style with pointed arches.
During the occupation by Soviet troops in 1945, the church was badly devastated. The building, which had previously been used as a Protestant church, was given to the Catholic Church after 1945. On June 1, 1951, it received a new consecration with the name Zwiastowania NMP (Annunciation) . In the post-war years, the church was partially restored, so that today it is one of the more worth seeing churches in Powiat Sławieński (Schlawe District) .

In the baroque structure there is a representation of the Last Supper (the head of Christ is depicted in an oriental manner), an Ecce Homo image and the Annunciation . A model of a ship used to hang in front of the altar.
The font was made of sand-lime brick .
On the south wall hung a large crucifix studded with crabs. The four ends of the cross bore the symbols of the evangelists . The crucifix probably came from the 15th century.
A crown of thorns was kept in the church , which Duke Bogislaw X is said to have brought back from his trip to Jerusalem . In addition, the church was in possession of an 1822 report on this pilgrimage .
The two bells that tolled in the tower before 1945 had inscriptions in Gothic minuscule. One of these bells had to be delivered in the Second World War , but escaped being melted down for ammunition purposes. It has been in the Heidberg Church in the Oberbergischer Kreis since 1952 .
Plaque
Through many visits to the old homeland, the former German residents wanted to put a memorial plaque in the church. A corresponding application was approved by the Catholic Church. The project came about through donations from former Protestant church members, and in October 1998 the memorial plaque was ceremonially installed and inaugurated in the presence of many former (German) and current (Polish) residents.
