Village layout - an oval village in a north - south axis.

The cultural landscape has partially survived with a detectable spatial layout and a ruin of a Gothic church from the 14th century located in the functioning cemetery in the village center. At the beginning of the 20th century, the village underwent a rapid development with new brick houses, brick farming buildings, and wooden buildings built in a regional style. The village still has ca. 7 longitudinal Dutch homesteads and over 20 wooden houses; however, some of them have been modified. The Heinrich Epp's homestead with an arcaded outbuilding has not survived. The traditional plot layout is still detectable.
