Łąkie [ˈwɔnkʲɛ] (German: Lanken)[1] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Lipka, within Złotów County, Greater Poland Voivodeship, in north-central Poland.[2] It is situated on the southern shore of Lake Łąkie[3] in the ethnocultural region of Krajna in the historic region of Greater Poland.

History

The territory became a part of the emerging Polish state under its first historic ruler Mieszko I in the 10th century. Łąkie was a private village of Polish nobility, including the Potulicki, Grudziński and Działyński families,[3] administratively located in the Nakło County in the Kalisz Voivodeship in the Greater Poland Province.[4] It was annexed by Prussia in the First Partition of Poland in 1772, and from 1871 to 1945 it was part of Germany.
