Lubecko [luˈbɛt͡skɔ] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Kochanowice, within Lubliniec County, Silesian Voivodeship, in southern Poland.[1] It lies approximately 4 kilometres (2 mi) west of Lubliniec and 55 km (34 mi) north-west of the regional capital Katowice.

First written mention about Lubecku come from 1226. A church was built here, most probably, in early 14th century. From 1921 Lubecko belonged to Poland. In 1944 Lubecko was bombed, by mistake, by US air-forces. Almost half the village destroyed and 6 persons died. In December 2009, exquisite wall paintings (frescoes) from early 14th century were uncovered in Lubecko's church.[2]
