Wilczkowo [vilt͡ʂˈkɔvɔ] (German Völzkow) is a settlement in the administrative district of Gmina Brzeżno, within Świdwin County, West Pomeranian Voivodeship, in north-western Poland.[1] It lies approximately 7 km (4 mi) south of Świdwin and 87 km (54 mi) north-east of the regional capital Szczecin.
Before 1945 the area was part of Germany. After World War II and the subsequent border shift, the region was placed under Polish administration and ethnically cleansed according to the post-war Potsdam Agreement. The native German populace was expelled and replaced with Poles. For the history of the region, see History of Pomerania.
