Wielki Buczek (Polish pronunciation: [ˈvjɛlkʲi ˈbutʂɛk]) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Lipka, within Złotów County, Greater Poland Voivodeship, in north-central Poland.

The territory became a part of the emerging Polish state under its first historic ruler Mieszko I in the 10th century.

Wielki Buczek was a private village of Polish nobility, including the Wituliński, Potulicki, Raczyński, Grabowski families,[2] administratively located in the Nakło County in the Kalisz Voivodeship in the Greater Poland Province.

In 1939, the Germans carried out arrests of prominent local Poles, including activists, a school teacher and the parish priest, who were then deported to the Sachsenhausen and Dachau concentration camps and killed there (see: Nazi crimes against the Polish nation).

[4][5] Following Germany's defeat in World War II, in 1945, the village was restored to Poland.
