History
Małgorzata Grzenda /
Lędyczek is a little town about 18 miles southwest of Człuchów (Schlochau.) First Jews settled down there probably as early as the beginning of the 18th c. In formal terms, however, it was officially founded in the early 19th century. In 1831 it had about 130 members that made almost 24% of the entire population of Lędyczek. In 1880s the community population number went up to ca. 200.
The community in Lędyczek had its own cemetery and synagogue. A new synagogue was built in 1920s, so when there were few Jews left in the community.
Local history

Lędyczek and its neighboring areas belonged to the Teutonic Order in 1309. The Teutonic Knights built here a small defensive stronghold Landeck which protected an important trade route from Greater Poland to Słupsk. Landeck was again within the borders of Poland in 1466. Over three centuries later, it belonged to the Prussian partition in 1772. Landeck was granted town privileges in 1775. The town was captured by the Soviet Army during the Second World War – in January 1945. The town was renamed to Lędyczek after 1945. Lędyczek lost town privileges in 1972.
