The village was mentioned in 1318 and was granted a charter in 1361. The sources from 1776 mention the following Mennonite names: Bicker, Epp, Fast, Jantzen, Neufeld, Wall, Wieb, and Wiens. In 1820, the village had 281 residents, including 38 Mennonites.

Village layout - linear and square village in a north - south line with 4 large farms in the western section of the village and 2 in the southern section.

The cultural landscape is well preserved with detectable spatial layout, 7 wooden houses from the 19th century, including one arcaded house (with built in arcade), and several masonry buildings - mainly outbuildings dating from the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th centuries. The modern buildings are often constructed in old homesteads, but their style differs from the historical tradition. Fragments of historical vegetation have survived, but it is being displaced by new plants. An old field layout and a network of draining canals have survived in the eastern and western sections of the village.

No. 11 is as house located in the southern section of the village, on the western side of the road, facing it with its ridge/gable. The house was erected in the 3rd quarter of the 19th century on a brick and stone underpinning. It has a corner-notched log structure with quoins covered by boards imitating rustication. The house is partially plastered; its pointing sill and gables are boarded vertically. The roof has a queen post - purlin structure reinforced with a strut and covered with pantiles and asbestos tiles. The gable elevation has 3 axes, a 4-axial gable, two windows enclosed by narrow skylights bound by triangular shapes and two small windows bound by triangular shapes above. The eastern elevation has 7 axes and a centrally located entrance with a wide porch (3 central axes) decorated with fretwork. There are also windows in the pointing sill (in line with the axes of the ground floor windows) enclosed by triangular shapes.
No. 34 is an arcaded house erected in the 2nd quarter of the 19th century on a stone underpinning. It is located in the central section of the village, on the western side of the road, facing it with its ridge. The building has a corner-notched log structure with quoins covered by boards, vertically boarded gables, a half-timbered arcade (currently built in) supported by 5 Tuscan columns (eastern side). The elevation is partially plastered. 
No. 17 is a house located in the central section of the village, on the western side of the road facing it with its ridge. It was erected in mid-19th century on a stone foundation. The house has a partially plastered corner-notched log structure with quoins partially covered by boards and a plastered half-timbered attic room in the eastern section of the roof, which is covered with pantiles. The eastern elevation has 7 axes with a centrally located entrance and a central, 3-axial attic room.
