gm. Nowy Dwór Gdański, pow. nowodworski, woj. pomorskie

Until 1945 Klein Mausdorf TK (Gotha, Endersch, Schrötter),

The village was established in 1332. The sources from 1776 mentioned the following surnames: Barg, Dick, Friesen, Giesbrecht, Hiebert, Kopp, Neufeld, Regehr, Reimer, Seiwatzki, Wiebe, Wiele, and Wiens. In 1820, the village had 206 residents, including 87 Mennonites.

Village layout - a linear village in a east-west line and a single-homestead village on the western side of the Rychnowo - Myszewo road with 3 large homesteads in the northern section of the village and 3 in colonies in the western section.

The cultural landscape is in relatively good condition. In the 1980s, 5 out of 7 identified homesteads still had historical buildings. Currently, there are 6 remains of Dutch homesteads (only 4 have outbuildings) with ca. 6 wooden houses, including an arcaded house from 1793 (other houses from the 3rd or 4th quarter of the 19th century) and brick buildings from the beginning of the 20th century. An ash alley, a field layout, and a system of draining canals have survived in the eastern section of the village.

No. 15 is a house from an old Dutch homestead situated in the eastern section of the village, on the northern side of the road, facing it with its ridge. The house was erected (modified) in the 4th quarter of the 19th century. It has a brick underpinning, a log structure with quoins covered by boards, a vertically boarded pointing sill and gables, a queen post - purlin roof structure with an angle brace, a ceramic roof, and a wide attic room in the western roof slope. The western elevation has 6 axes, an entrance (with a glazed-in porch) in the 4th axis from the south, between two windows, a pointing sill with out-of-line, rectangular windows, and a 2-level attic room with 2 axes in the lower level and 3, in the upper level. The southern elevation has 3 axes and a 2-level gable with 4 axes at the bottom and a single axis above.
No. 20 is a house located in the eastern section of the village, on the northern side of the road. It consists of two sections: an older one from the 1st quarter of the 19th century (2 axes added later in the northern direction), which was a part of a Dutch homestead with a gable facing the road (outbuildings demolished) and a 1.5-storey wing from the 4th quarter of the 19th century. The building is richly decorated with fretwork - gables, a porch, and window and door frames. The house is in poor condition.
No. 4 is an arcaded house erected in 1793 and owned until 1945 by Neufeld. The house is situated in the northern section of the village, on the western side of a road, facing it with its ridge. It has a brick underpinning, a log structure with quoins covered by boards imitating rustication, a deep half-timbered arcade supported by 6 wooden posts and half-timbered walls, a modern porch (north side), vertically boarded gables, richly decorated ceiling rafters supporting a profiled top plate, and a ceramic roof. The building has a 2-bay layout with a slightly wider southern bay, the large room in the southeastern  corner, a black kitchen in the large room bay, and an L-shaped bipartite hallway. The southern elevation has 6 axes with an entrance located between two windows in the 4th axis from the east and a 2-axial arcade. The eastern elevation has 3 axes and a 2-level gable with 4 axes in the lower level, two windows enclosed by quarter-circular small windows, and a single window above.
