Homestead

On the territory of the Sieradzka and Wielunska Lands the examples of traditional homesteads and houses related to the Dutch colonisation have not been preserved. This area is significantly transformed - the majority of villages located near cities were modified to such extent that it is difficult to state with certainty what type of development and parcel layout was characteristic for this terrain.
However, the traces that were preserved allow stating that parcels on which homesteads were located are mostly in the shape of a rectangle or parallelogram, the most often with their shorter side to the road.
New houses dating from the post-war period, located on old parcels, were erected with their ridge or gable to the road running through the village (in settlements located in the vicinity or along the main village road) or (in case of colonial villages fragments) with their ridge to the road (on the east-west line).
Today's development represented on the territory of historical Dutch villages is entirely built from hard materials (brick, siporex, concrete etc.), what was typical of the post-war village construction in Poland. Some houses - mainly in the shape of cubicle - were erected in the seventies of the 20th century; those having high basement were built in the eighties of the 20th century. The nineties and the beginning of the 21st century are typical for different architectural forms, the most often not fitting the local style and representing stylish, "pseudo-manor" designs.
