Pacut beat Guusje Steenhuis of the Netherlands in the final on Sunday to notch up the biggest success of her career so far.
It was the first individual triumph by a Pole at the European championships since 2007, when Robert Krawczyk won in Belgrade in the under-81 kg category. Krawczyk is now Pacut's coach.
