Wierzchucino ( German Wierschutzin , Kashubian Wierzchùcëno ) is a village in the powiat Pucki ( Putzig ) of the Polish Pomeranian Voivodeship . It is assigned to the rural municipality of Krokowa .
Geographical location
The place is located in the extreme eastern corner of Western Pomerania , about 29 kilometers east of the city of Leba ( Łeba ), 32 kilometers northeast of the city of Lauenburg i. Pom. ( Lębork ), two kilometers west of the Zarnowitzer See and five kilometers south of the Baltic Sea .
history
Traditional forms of the place name are Virchocino (1257), Wirchenzin (1606), Wierszchuzin (1784) and Wierzchucin (1866–1910). In the 18th century Wierschutzin was owned by the Cistercian nunnery of Zarnowitz in the neighboring town of Zarnowitz in West Prussia , to which the village had belonged since 1257; it had been given to it in Belgard by Swantopolk II with the consent of the Duke Ratibor von Pomerellen. During the rule of the Teutonic Order in the region, which began in 1309, the village belonged to Voigtei Lewinburg . Around 1784 there was a farm in the village, a water mill, twelve farmers, four cottages , an inn and a total of 31 households.
Village church (also Catholic before 1945).

Until 1945 Wierschutzin was the seat of the district Wierschutzin in the district of Lauenburg i. Pom. , Administrative district of Köslin of the Pomerania province of the German Empire . Two communities belonged to the Wierschutzin district:
- Schlochow
- Wierschutzin
Towards the end of World War II , Wierschutzin was occupied by the Red Army in the spring of 1945 . Soon afterwards Wierschutzin was placed under Polish administration together with all of Western Pomerania and West Prussia . Thereupon the immigration of Polish civilians began in Wierschutzin. Wierschutzin was given the New Polish name Wierzchucino . In the period that followed, most of the residents were evicted .
The village was assigned to the Powiat Pucki (Putzig district).
