gm. Gostynin, pow. płocki, woj. mazowieckie ![]() The village was settled by the Dutch colonists at the end of the 18th century. Ca. 1800, it had an Evangelical school. In 1827, the village had 29 houses and 125 residents, while in 1881 - 25 houses, 301 residents, 411 morga of land suitable for rye, and 60 morga of meadows. Zwoleń is a multi-street village located to the north of the Gostynin-Korzeń Królewski road. Modern and traditional buildings are located along a north-south line, on both sides of a road.
The cultural landscape has been modified. Nine houses associated with the Dutch colonization have survived. The buildings were erected before 1945 and face a street with gables. They include residential and farm sections under one roof. The buildings that have been least transformed have the following numbers: 14, 24, 25, and 58. All buildings were made of brick (plastered or not plastered) and are covered with double-pitched roofs. The buildings include a residential section (always on the eastern side) and a farm section (cowshed). The rest of the buildings in the village were erected in the post-war period or recently.
