The village of Pilgrimesdorf was mentioned in 1316. The village was granted the Chełmno rights in 1338 by the Grand Master Dytryk von Altenburg. The sources from 1776 mentioned the following Mennonite names: Claassen, Reimer, Tiesen, and Warkentin. In 1820, the village had 290 residents, including 20 Mennonites. In 1860s, Kończewice had 126 włóksa of land, 52 houses, 541 Catholics and Lutherans, and 15 Mennonites. Village layout - an oval village in a east-west line with the Assumption of Blessed Virgin Mary church surrounded by a cemetery (in the center) and an Lutheran cemetery in the western section of the village, on the southern side of the road. In the western section of the village, there was an intersection of the Malbork - Gnojów (from the east) road and the Mątowy Wlk. - river crossing (and later bridge) in Listwo road. There were several dispersed buildings on the western side. The cultural landscape of the village is well preserved with detectable spatial layout. The historical buildings are quite numerous. In 1986, 10 homesteads out of 17 had historical buildings. These were mostly brick buildings from the beginning of the 20th century (e.g. No. 34, 35, and 39). There are also 6 wooden buildings, including the old presbytery. The most important historical building is the Gothic parish church. None of the old windmills or the half-timbered Lutheran church from 1788 have survived. The church used to be located in the area of the Lutheran cemetery where only some old trees and a fragment of an alley have survived. The church cemetery has only several old trees and several historical gravestones. No. 7 is a building from an old Dutch homestead of the
longitudinal type (farming buildings are slightly higher and are separated
by a fire wall) The building dates from the 2nd quarter of the 19th
century and faces the road with its ridge. It has a log structure, quoins
covered by boards, planked gables, and a high, ceramic roof. The gable
elevation has 3 axes, a 3-axial gable (lower level), a window enclosed by
quarter circular skylights, and a semicircular skylight above. The frontal
elevation is symmetrical with 5 axes and a centrally located entrance.
