The village existed already in the Prussian period - Sura. Later, it was granted the Chełmno charter by the Teutonic Knights and became a part of the Elbląg land estate. The sources from 1295 mentioned a tenant Berthold. A ferry crossing functioned in the village since the Middle Ages until 2006, when the bridge was completed. The church, which was erected in the 14th century, was replaced by a half-timbered church in 1663. It was located on the eastern bank of the Nogat within the area of the current village of Bielnik. The village was not incorporated in the Dutch colonization; it was a primarily a fishing and a ferry crossing village. But the presence of Dutch settlers was also mentioned. In 1820, Kępki had 589 residents, including 8 Mennonites. The 1868 petition was signed by a merchant J. Dyck.
