gm. D±bie, pow. kolski, woj. wielkopolskie

Wojciechów was a gentry village (owned by Hilary Zabokrzecki) colonized by the Dutch settlers in 1792. In 1827, the village had 5 houses and 40 residents. In 1893, the village comprised 4 houses and 37 residents.

Wojciechów is a linear village located to the northeast of D±bie, to the west of the road to Kłodawa, and next to the railroad line to Bydgoszcz. Homesteads stretch on both sides of a road running through the village crosswise to a canal, which drains excess of the ground water.

The cultural landscape characteristic of the Dutch colonization has been transformed. Scarce poplars, willows, and draining canals are present. No examples of traditional architecture associated with the settlers have survived.
