The village was associated with the Vistula river crossing. It was mentioned in 1321 and received privileges in 1344. The sources from 1776 mentioned the following Mennonite surnames: Konrad, Dick, Ens, and Claassen. In 1820, the village had 289 residents, including 31 Mennonites. The petition from 1868 was signed by Claasen, Peter Dau, Isaak Dyck, Adolf and Jakob Harder, J. Rogalsky, Wiebe, Wiens (landowners), and Joann Nickel (a merchant).

Village layout - a single sided linear village and a flood bank linear village.

The cultural landscape of the village has been preserved in the large part with a detectable spatial layout and homesteads. Examples of historical architecture include the Częstochowska Mother of God wooden church from 1712, a half-timbered house from the end of the 18th century, 3 wooden houses from the end of the 19th century, a Dutch windmill, 8 - 10 brick buildings from the end of the 19th century and the 1st quarter of the 20th century, and outbuildings. Some of the buildings are decorated with religious symbols. There is an old cemetery with old trees and contemporary graves. Buildings located by the flood bank have been transformed. A field layout and a system of draining ditches have survived.

It is a single storey, brick building resting on a brick underpinning and has a pointing sill and a double-pitched, ceramic roof. The gable elevation has 4 axes, a 4-axial gable, and two windows enclosed by narrow skylights. Above, there are cast plates with six-pointed stars and a centrally located circular skylight. Brick elevations have various forms of brick cornices and heavy pinnacles in corners and gable finials. The western elevation has 5 axes and an entrance located in the 3rd axis from the south decorated by six-pointed stars. The homestead also has a partially preserved outbuilding, which functioned as a cowshed, a granary, and a coach house. It is a brick building with rich architectural detail. In addition to the owner's initials and the building completion date, the western elevation has a motif of a six-pointed star made of bricks.

It consists of two sections: an older northern section dating from the mid 19th century and a southern section added at the end of the 19th century or at the beginning of the 20th century. Until 1945, the building belonged to Hans Harde. The northern section has one storey and rests on a stone underpinning, while the southern section - 1.5 stories and a brick underpinning.
