gm. Gronowo Elbląskie, pow. elbląski, woj. warmińsko - mazurskie

Wikrowo Małe was probably founded in the pre-Teutonic Order period. It was mentioned in 1357. Ca. 1300, the village had a manor, which initially belonged to Teutonic Knights, then to Elbląg Bridgettines, and in the 16th century, to the city of Elbląg (after 1945 - PGR Wikrowo). The village of Wikrowo Wielkie was mentioned in 1395; the name probably referred to the manor. The village of Wikrowo Małe was established in 1590 as a result of division of the manor land. The village was settled by Dutch colonists. In 1715, the settlements of Wikrowo Małe and Wikrowo Duże formed a single village. The land of the Stutthof estate (present day Helenowo) was part of Wikrowo. At the end of the 18th century, the village had 28 homesteads, and 36 Mennonites. In 1890, the northern section of the village was incorporated into the village of Władysławowo. At the beginning of the 20th century, the village had 229 residents and 347 ha of land.

Village layout - three sections: a former manor in the western section (after 1945 converted into a state farm), a Waldhufendorf village on both sides of a north-south road, which in the northern section turns (mid 1800s) into a short linear village - Wikrowo Małe, and Wikrowo Duże in the southern section with buildings located on terpy along 4 local roads to Jegłownik and the Elbląg - Malbork road.

The cultural landscape has been severely modified in the former manor area and by the burnt windmill (the last windmill out of 9 that functioned in the area). The historical architecture, including remains of 9 Dutch homesteads, has been transformed (old buildings have been replaced). Three wooden houses have survived. A system of draining canals (with polders), a field layout, and several terpy have survived.
