Wola Łącka [ˈvɔla ˈwɔnt͡ska] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Łąck, within Płock County, Masovian Voivodeship, in central Poland.[1] It lies approximately 3 kilometres (2 mi) south-west of Łąck, 14 km (9 mi) south-west of Płock, and 100 km (62 mi) west of Warsaw.

History

In the late 19th century, the village had a population of 135.[2]

During the German occupation (World War II), on December 1, 1939, the Germans carried out a massacre of 22 Poles from the nearby town of Gostynin in the local forest, as part of the Intelligenzaktion.[3] Among the victims were mayor Michał Jarmoliński, member of Polish parliament Andrzej Czapski, chiefs of the town's police and fire department, teachers and priests.[3]
