The village was mentioned for the first time in 1427. It was settled by the Dutch in the second half of the 18th century. In 1827, it belonged to the Życk parish and had 42 houses and 432 residents. In 1887, it had 539 residents. 1246 morga of land was cultivated by the villagers; whereas, 18 morga belonged to the manor. It had a general elementary school.

Piotrkówek is linear village located between Nowosiadło and Suchodół to the south of the new flood-bank. It can be reached by a paved road from Słubice. The homestead lie along an east-west line, mostly on man-made rises on both sides of the road, which formerly constituted a low flood-bank.

The cultural landscape is well preserved - abundant planed trees and bushes, fields with willows, elevated driveways, and ponds collecting excess water. Examples of traditional Dutch buildings have survived.

Building no. 105 was built of wood in 1913. It faces the road with its ridge (with the residential section on the eastern side) and is located in the eastern part of the village. The building is part of a two-building homestead (with a henhouse on its south-eastern side) surrounded by a picket fence. The house is made of poplar and oak (ground sill) wood; it has a corner-notched log structure connected by dovetail halvings at corners with protruding log ends. High (2.6 m) walls are covered with a medium (2.9 m), double-pitched, rafter-collar beam roof reinforced with ties with roofing paper. The residential section and the cowshed are located under one roof. It has a two-bay and three and a half-axial interior with a centrally located, fire system, which includes a heater, two tile kitchen stoves, a tile stove, a smokebox, and a bread oven. The building is preserved in good condition (BK - Jerzy Szałygin, 1995).

A wooden house no. 106 was erected in 1931. Its ridge faces the main village road and the flood-bank (the residential section on the eastern side). It is located in the eastern section of the village as part of a two-building homestead (large barn situated in the north-western corner). It is partially surrounded by a picket fence. The building was made of pine and has a solid beam and post structure with corners joined by dovetail halvings with log ends and of bricks bonded with cement-lime mortar (cowshed). It has low walls (2.1 m), medium (3.1) double-pitched, rafter-collar beam roof; the structure is reinforced with queen-posts and rests on a pointing sill - roofed with sheet metal.

The residential section and the cowshed are located under one roof. The residential section has a two-bay and two-axial layout with a centrally located fire system, which includes a kitchen stove located in the kitchen and a tile stove in a room, and also a bread oven and a smokebox located in the chimney.
