![]() The present day village consists of two old settlements: Jungfer located by the road to Nowy Dwór and Keitlan situated to the south of Jungfer. The main section of the village - former Jungfer - was a fishing village founded in the 14th century and at that time located on coast of the Lagoon. It was incorporated in the Elbląg estate by a Kazimierz Jagiellończyk edict. In the 17th century, the village was partially incorporated in the Dutch colonization. In 1820, Jungfer had 639 residents, including 21 Mennonites. The sources from 1814-20 mention the surnames Bärg and Schräder. The village of Keitlau was an agricultural settlement and was settled by Dutch. In 1820, the village had 124 residents, including 13 Mennonites with the following surnames: Bencken, Claasen, Dick, Ens, Fast, and Friesen. The 1868 petition from Kępki was signed by a merchant J. Dyck. Village layout - multi street village formed from a water linear village located on both sides of the Panieński Canal with buildings along the westbound roads and a flood bank linear village in the (southern) former Keitelau section. The cultural landscape is in good condition. The spatial layout with numerous historical buildings has survived. There are ca. 40 wooden buildings, 6-7 longitudinal Dutch homesteads, 2 angular homesteads, and 1 cross-shaped homestead. The village also has a half-timbered parish church, masonry buildings from the beginning of the 20th century, and colonial houses from 1920s and 1930s. In the northern section of the village, there are remains of an unfinished lock and fragments of cobble stone surface on some streets - Wałowa, Żabia, or Mostowa. The field layout and drainage canal network are still detectable in the western and eastern sections of the village.
