The village was founded by the Dutch in 1759, who were settled in the village under agreement with Ignacy Cichocki (simultaneously with Nowy Troszyn). In 1798, a German-Evangelical elementary school was established; 38 students attended classes. By 1827, the village had 25 houses and 230 residents. In 1880, the number of residents increased to 274. At that time, the village had 513 morga in area.

Borki is a linear village situated along a north-west - south-east line and to the east of the Dobrzykowo-Słubice road. The buildings stretch on the eastern side of the metalled road next to the embankment of the Vistula's old river bed.

The cultural landscape associated with the Dutch colonization is very well preserved with the original field layout, planted vegetation (willows, poplars), wattle fences around the homesteads, drainage canals, and numerous examples of traditional buildings.

The houses are built of pine wood or bricks. Wooden houses have a corner-notched log structure with dovetail joints at corners and protruding log ends. Some homesteads also include barns, which have a timber frame, planked structure and high double-pitched, rafter-collar beam roofs.

House no. 5 is a wooden house made of pine, oak, and poplar wood erected ca. 1900 located on an artificial rise. It is one of the most interesting buildings in Borki. The building is located next to the road to Nowy Troszyn, on its southern side and at a certain distance from the village. The residential section faces the north-east. The walls of the building are of two types: the residential section and the cowshed have corner-notched log walls with dovetail joints at the corners and protruding log ends; while, the barn has a timber frame structure. High (2.70 m) walls are covered with a high (4.5 m), double-pitched, rafter-collar beam (two collar beams reinforce each rafter), rye straw thatched roof.

The ceiling structure (on ceiling joists) in the cowshed rests on a summer beam. The building is lime-washed; the windows and doors are painted with oil paint. A shed has been added to the barn gable; it is covered with a pent roof. The building has a two-bay and two-axial interior with a centrally located, traditional fire system. The system has a wide chimney with a czarna kuchnia low on the ground floor.

The interior of the farm section has a two-bay layout; a space for horses and cows is located on the yard side, while two spaces for pigs and chickens are located on the side that faces the road. Two sets of stairs have survived inside the building. Both of them lead to the loft, one from the kitchen, the other one from the cowshed. The building is preserved in good condition.

House no. 19 is made of pine, oak, and poplar wood and was erected in 1890. The residential section faces the east. The walls of the building are of two types: the residential section and the cowshed have corner-notched log walls with dovetail joints at the corners and protruding log ends; while, the barn has a timber frame structure, which is reinforced with angle braces and struts and planked with vertical boards. Low (ca. 2.20 m) walls are covered with a high (4.20 m), double-pitched, rafter-collar beam (two collar beams reinforce each rafter), rye straw thatched roof; the roof over the cowshed and barn sections is lower.

The building is lime-washed (residential and cowshed sections). A porch with a flat gable roof has been added to the southern elevation. The building has a two-bay and two-axial interior with a brick/tile fire system, which is asymmetrically located. The cowshed interior with a centrally located passageway has no solid partitions. The stalls for animals are limited by poles. It has a stairway leading to the loft. The barn has one threshing floor and a large storage space on the western side. The building is preserved in a good condition.
