The village was settled by the Dutch colonists before 1796. In 1827, it had 11 houses and 53 residents. In 1895, the village had 11 houses and 85 residents. Its area equalled 92 morga. Holendry is a linear village located on the northern side of the Vistula, to the south of the Zakroczym - Płock road, along an east-west line, and to the east of the village of Rakowo. The homesteads are built on a rectangular plan with longer sides adjoining the village road on its southern and northern sides. The cultural landscape is very well preserved with a detectable field layout and willows planted on balks. Majority of homesteads are situated on man-made hillocks with driveways running perpendicularly to the main road. Trees and bushes are still present on the eastern side. Two examples of traditional Dutch buildings have survived.

Building no. 77 was built of wood at the beginning of the 20th century. It faces the road with its ridge (with the residential section on the eastern side) and is located in the western part of the village, on the southern side of the village road. The building is a part of a three-building homestead with a barn located on the western side and a shed on the northern side. It is surrounded with a picket fence.

The building is made of oak (ground sill) and pine. It has two types of structures: a corner-notched log structure with dovetail halvings at corners and protruding log ends and a timber frame structure, which is reinforced with angle braces and struts. Low walls are covered by a high, double-pitched, rafter-collar beam roof, which is reinforced with queen posts and roofed with sheet metal. Residential section, cowshed, and a barn are located under one roof. On the southern side, the entrance to the hallways is located in a wooden porch. The porch has a post structure and is partially glazed and boarded. The residential section has a two-bay and three-axial layout with a centrally located fire system. The system includes: two tile kitchen stoves, tile heaters, bread oven in the hallway, smokebox in the chimney, and two tile stoves located in rooms. The homestead has a small, single-room cowshed and a large barn with one threshing floor, one storage space, and a separate coach house on the western side. The building is preserved in a good condition.
