gm. Iłów, pow. sochaczewski, woj. mazowieckie

Originally, Rokocina was part of Nowa Wieś. The village was settled by The Dutch colonists at the end of the 18th century. In 1888, it had 62 residents and 153 morga of land. Rokocina is a linear village located to the north of the Młodzieszyn-Iłów road along an east-west line to the west of Rzepki. The homesteads are built on a rectangular plan with the longer side adjoining the main village road primarily on its northern side.

The cultural landscape is in satisfactory condition - a detectable field layout with remains of willow trees. The homesteads are removed from the main roads and are connected to it with driveways with rows of willows. One example of traditional Dutch buildings has survived.

House no. 12 is a masonry building, erected ca. 1930. It is located in the eastern section of the village on the northern side of the village road. It is a four-building homestead with the house situated on the southern side, summer kitchen on the eastern side, and a barn and a new house on the north-eastern side. The homestead is surrounded by a picket and pole fence. The house is made of stone bonded with lime-clay mortar; it has been lined with cement-lime mortar after WWII. The structure is covered with a double-pitched, rafter-collar beam roof with fiberboard roofing. Residential (eastern side) and farm (cowshed) sections are located under one roof on the northern side. The residential section has a two-bay and two and a half-axial layout with a centrally located traditional fire system. It consists of a wide chimney, a bread oven (in the kitchen on the northern side), two heaters, a kitchen stove, and a tile stove (in the eastern axis). The building is preserved in satisfactory condition.
