The village was mentioned in 1318 and was granted a charter between 1324 and 1338. The sources from 1776 mentioned the following Mennonite names: Barch, Bestvader, Ens, Epp, Esauł, Claasen, Penner, Wieb, and Wienp. In 1820, the village had 270 residents, including 61 Mennonites. The petition from 1868 was signed by Dück, Dyck, Ens, Suckau, and Wiens from Mirów. In 1860s, the village had 74 włókas and 111 morgas of land, 35 houses, 338 Catholics and Lutherans, and 72 Mennonites. Village layout - a linear village in a north-south line along the Nowy Staw - Tuja road with 4 large farms in the eastern section of the village, and 1-2 in the western section. The cultural landscape is well preserved with 8 Dutch homesteads, 7 wooden houses from the 19th century, and ca. 14 masonry houses from the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries. Modern buildings are few; they primarily include outbuildings that replaced older buildings. A cobble stone road is lined with old limes. An old field layout and a system of draining canals have survived in the eastern and western sections of the village. No. 36 is a house from a longitudinal Dutch homestead (a barn
has been demolished; a cowshed is separated from the house by a fire wall;
it has been re-bricked) situated in the northern section of the village,
on the eastern side of a road, facing it with its gable. The house dates
from 1864 and has a log structure with dovetail halvings at corners
(covered by boards imitating Tuscan pilaster), a stone/brick underpinning,
a richly profiled protruding top plate resting on decoratively notched
ceiling beams, a rafter - two-collar beam roof structure, asbestos tile
roofing, and a half-timbered extension in the southern roof slope. The
ground floor and the window arrangement have been modified. The western
elevation has 4 axes with two windows enclosed by narrow windows
(topped by triangular shapes) and a semicircular skylight above. The
southern elevation has 6 axes and an entrance with a decorative door in
the 3rd axis from the east and a 2-axial attic room above the
entrance. SGKP, t.V, s. 499, Lipińska, t.III, poz. 194; AG IV, BF |
