gm. Cedry Wielkie, pow. gdański, woj. pomorskie

In 1292, the Gdańsk duke Mściwój II gave the village to the Cystercians from Pelpin. Since 1301, the village belonged to the Kujawy bishop and was transferred to Jesuits from Stare Szkoty in Gdańsk. Between 1807 and 1814, Giemlice was a part of the Gdańsk estate, and between 1793 and 1807 as well as between 1814 and 1919 belonged to the Prussian treasury. In 1820, the village had 411 residents, including 1 Mennonite. In the 2nd half of the 19th century, the village had 3503 morgas of land, 526 residents, and 32 houses.

Village layout - linear and square village.

The cultural landscape of the village is in good condition. The spatial layout with the John the Baptist Catholic church from 1841 (in the center) and traditional homesteads with numerous contemporary buildings are detectable. In 1986, out of 10 traditional homesteads, 8 had historical buildings. Currently, the remaining historical buildings date from the 3rd and 4th quarter of the 19th century. These are mainly brick, 1 or 1.5-storey buildings with rich architectural ceramic features - no. 4. Homestead no. 11 has a house (a half has remained) and farm buildings from 1883. No. 12 is a presbytery with a tile roof. There are 2 wooden buildings - No. 7 and 29. There is one Dutch homestead from the 19th century (No. 42). Additionally, the village has a functioning cemetery located outside of the village and detectable field layout. None of the 4 arcaded houses have survived.

No. 29 is a house situated in the southeastern section of the village, on the eastern side of the road, facing it with its ridge. It was erected in 1829 and rests on a stone foundation. It has a plastered corner-notched log structure with quoins covered with boards imitating rustication, a vertically boarded gable, a queen post - purlin roof structure, and a tile, partially hipped roof. Only half of the building has survived. The large room is located in the southwestern corner. There are two hallways, a white kitchen, and a small room. The large room has a mural painting on the ceiling a stove with a coping. The gable elevation has 3 axes, the gable - 2 axes. The building is in ruins.
No. 42 is a homestead of the Dutch type situated in the northeastern section of the village, on the eastern side of the road, facing it with its ridge. It was erected in 1898 probably in place of an earlier homestead and adopted its layout. Interconnected buildings of a house and a cowshed are made of brick. Their walls are of the same height. The buildings have a common ridge, and are decorated with the same block cornice. There are windows in the pointing sills, also over the farming section. The cowshed was converted into an apartment. The form of the house follows the layout of an earlier wooden house; it has 6 axes with an entrance (enclosed by windows) in the 4th axis from the north. There are double windows in the pointing sill (also above the cowshed) - not in line with the lower windows, which may signify that in the 2nd half of the 19th century, the upper part was added to the original wooden house.  The interior layout has been slightly transformed.
