Wojciechowo (Polish: [vɔjt͡ɕɛˈxɔvɔ]) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Orneta, within Lidzbark County, Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, in northern Poland.[1] It lies approximately 4 km (2 mi) south of Orneta, 29 km (18 mi) west of Lidzbark Warmiński, and 41 km (25 mi) north-west of the regional capital Olsztyn.
The suffix -dorf of the former German name Albrechtsdorf is typical for settlements founded by Germans during Medieval Ostsiedlung.[2]
Before 1772 the area was part of Kingdom of Poland, and in 1772–1945 it belonged to Prussia and Germany (East Prussia).
