history

Wentzkowo , also called Wentzkowo and Wentzelsdorff , was founded in 1577. In 1874 the small village was incorporated into the Muschaken district ( Muszaki in Polish ) in the East Prussian district of Neidenburg , to which it belonged until 1945. On November 4, 1893, Wientzkowen and the neighboring village of Wilzken ( Wilkczki in Polish ) merged to form the new rural community of Wientzkowen.

388 inhabitants were registered in Wientzkowen in 1910. Their number was 345 in 1933.

On June 3rd - officially confirmed on July 16th - 1938, Wientzkowen was renamed "Winsken" for political and ideological reasons to defend against foreign-sounding place names. The population in 1939 was 309.

As a result of the war, Winsken was transferred to Poland in the whole of southern East Prussia in 1945 . The village received the Polish name form "Więckowo" and is today as the seat of a Schulzenamt (Polish Sołectwo ) a place in the network of the rural community Janowo in the powiat Nidzicki ( Ortelsburg district ), until 1998 of the Olsztyn Voivodeship , since then the Warmia-Masurian Voivodeship . In 2011 Więckowo had 187 inhabitants.
