The Dutch settled in the village at the beginning of the 19th century. Wola Błędowska is situated parallel to the Wkra river on its western side between Borkowo and Śniadów. The buildings are located on both sides of the road along a north-south line.

The cultural landscape has been completely transformed as a result of the inclusion of the village into the collective farming system. Originally the houses included residential and farm sections and faced the road with gables. The village with the surrounding land became part of a collective farm (PGR) established after WWII.

The traditional Dutch houses served as housing for the farm employees. The buildings decreased in value and eventually were taken down in the mid 1980s.
