The village was mentioned in 1321; in 1341, it was granted a German charter by Werner von Orseln (71 włókas). The village had a chapel until the 18th century. The sources from 1776 mentioned the following Mennonnite surnames: Barckmann, Friesen, Claassen, Mattis, Neyfeldt, Penner, and Toews. In 1820, the village had 341 residents and 44 Mennonites.

Village layout - linear-square village in the axis close to an east-west line; there are three large farms on the southern side of the road and four on the northern side. There is a Mennonite cemetery in the central section of the village.

The cultural landscape of the village is well preserved with detectable spatial layout remains of 3 Dutch homesteads: no. 2, 7 (masonry buildings from the beginning of the 20th century), and 9, a large homestead from the beginning of the 20th century with a regional-style building from the 1st quarter of the 20th century, several masonry buildings from the 1st quarter of the 20th century, and 2 detached wooden buildings from the mid 1800s. The contemporary buildings of homestead no. 17 copied its angular layout. Rows of old trees and coble stone streets have also survived. The old trees - mainly limes, but also oaks, maples, and ashes - line the road and a village street.

The house dates from the 4th quarter of the 19th century. It faces the road with its ridge. The building has 1.5 stories, a long, 7-axial, symmetrical elevation, a corner-notched log structure with boarded quoins, a horizontally boarded half-timbered pointing sill, gables, and an attic room (brick filling), and a low, double pitched roof. The house is richly decorated with carved wooden elements, drips, cornices, wind ties, and boards that imitate Tuscan pilaster. A porch has not survived.
A building without a number is a house from an old Dutch homestead situated in the eastern section of the village, on the western side of the street, facing it with its ridge. It dates from the 1850s. The building has a corner-notched log structure with boarded quoins, a vertically boarded gable. The walls are reinforced with vertical braces.&

The building had a 2-bay layout with similar bays, the large room in the southeastern corner, a centrally located black kitchen, and 2 separate hallways. The gable elevation (western) had 2 axes, a 2-axial gable at the lower level, and a semicircular window above. The western elevation had 6 axes with a 2-axial extension and an arcade in the 2 central axes. An entrance was located in the 3rd axis from the west. The building has been demolished.

The house is situated in the central section of the village, on the northern side of the road. It is made of plastered brick and rests on a stone foundation. The building has a partially hipped roof and a half-timbered attic room in the southern roof slope.

The gable elevation (eastern) has 4 axes, a two-level gable with 2 axes at the lower level, and a single window above. The southern elevation has  7 axes with a pseudo-projection, which constitutes a pedestal for the attic room located in the 3 central axes.
