Village layout - a marsh row village and a flood bank linear village located by the Drużno lake flood bank. The cultural landscape includes: a preserved layout of farms and terpy and a system of draining canals and polders. Examples of historical architecture have survived in fragments. In 1980s, 40 homesteads (partially including buildings of the village of Drzewsk) still had historical buildings. Several remaining homesteads have bricked or plastered buildings with asbestos tile roofing. A longitudinal Dutch homestead is situated on the eastern
side of the road, facing it with its gable. It was erected at the end of
the 18th century and modified at the end of the 19th century. The
homestead includes a house, a cowshed, and a barn. The house has a
plastered log structure, a boarded gable, a wooden porch, and partially
preserved decoration. The interior has a characteristic layout with a
square large room in the southwestern corner, a centrally located black
kitchen, and a hallway, which is open on both sides and separates utility
rooms. The buildings are in very poor condition; fragments of door and
window frames and an old cupboard have survived. SGKP,t. XIII, s. 211; ML, IV, s.314-15, Lipińska, t. III, poz.135. |
