gm. Sztutowo, pow. nowodworski, woj. pomorskie

Until 1945 Lichtkampe, Kleiner und Groser Weidenhaken (Schrötter); Laschke,

In Middle Ages, the region located to the south of Sztutowo was a part of the Vistula Lagoon. Since the 16th century, the area was systematically drained and incorporated into the Sztutowo estate - Stuthofer kampe. Present day village of Łaszka includes several sections, which until 1945, were separate settlements: Lichtkampe by the Wisła Królewiecka, Kleiner Weidenhaken stretching along the northern bank of the Łaszka river, Łaszka Mleczarnia by the Grosser Weidenhaken river crossing, and the settlement of Łaszka.

The village layout - the current village includes 6 settlements: former Lichtkampe (colonial homesteads located by the flood bank road on the southern side of the Wisła Królewska), Kleiner Weidekampe - a flood bank linear settlement stretching alnong the northern bank of the Brene Fart, Grosser Weidekampe (after 1945 Łaszka Mleczarnia) - a flood bank linear settlement located on the northern bank of the Łaszka river, a linear settlement with buildings on both sides of the road, and Norderhaken (until 1945; Wydmin - after 1945), and Sűdenhaken located on the western side of the road that separates Łaszka from Płonin.

The cultural landscape is in good condition with clear layout of 18 Dutch homesteads (including angular homesteads) and 17 wooden houses from the 19th and the 20th centuries. Some buildings have been replaced preserving the layout of the former Dutch homestead (5 examples). In some homesteads, only a house has survived. Certain buildings have been modified. Traditional vegetation has survived in fragments. Field layout and a system of drainage canals are detectable.
