Until 1945 Heubuden ( Endersch, Schrötter) ( not marked in Goth), Hejbudy,

In the Teutonic Knights period, the area was used a pastures for knights' horses. The sources from the 15th century mentioned the name Howbude related to wooden buildings (sheds). The name Heybudi was mentioned in 1510. The village was founded in 1562 and then in 1565, leased to Dutch settlers. Flemish congregation in Stogi was the largest rural Mennonite community in the Żuławy region; however, until 1728, it was under the authority of the Gdańsk community Wielkie Żuławy. In 1728, the community became independent, and Stogi elders conducted services in Lichnowy Wielkie, Laskowice Wielkie, Pogorzała Wieś, Malbork, Czatków, and Jarczewo. In 1768, the Mennonites erected a wooden house of prayer. The sources mention the following Mennonite surnames: von Bergen, Born, Bickert, Konrad, Dickmann, Dicksen, Dircksen, Dick, Ens, Epp, Fast, Friesen, Giesbrecht, Gunter, Hamm, Harder, Claasen, Kosdorff, and Loewen. In 1820, the village had 301 residents, including 202 Mennonites. In the 2nd half of the 19th century, the village had 137 włókas of land, 45 houses, 154 Catholics and Lutherans, and 176 Mennonites. The village was an active center of the Flemish Mennonite community - Stogi - Malbork, which in the prewar period was the largest rural congregation with 1092 members and 358 children below 15 in 1929.

Village layout - a single-homestead, irregular, partially linear village with buildings on the western side of the road running northward from the Malbork - Tczew highway.

The cultural landscape has partially survived. Historical wooden buildings (dating from the 19th century) are scarce and their number is decreasing. Farming buildings have been taken down or replaced by modern buildings in almost all old Dutch homesteads. A field layout, a system of draining canals, and vegetation surrounding homesteads have survived.


No. 9 is a house from an old Dutch homestead of the angular type erected in 1798 for Johann Epp. It is situated in the northern section of the village, on the eastern side of the road. Farming buildings, which were separated from the house by a high fire wall, were demolished. The house has a brick underpinning, a log structure with quoins covered by boards imitating pilaster, a vertically boarded gable, an arcade (south side) supported by 6 pillars and half-timbered walls, a queen post - purling roof structure covered by pantiles. The interior has a 2-bay layout with a wide southern bay, the large room in the southwestern corner, a black kitchen in the large room bay, and an inverted Z-shaped bipartite hallway, which separates the other section of the house - two rooms on each side of a corridor leading to a cowshed. The western gable elevation has 3 axes, a two-level gable with 3 axes at the lower level, and a single window above. The southern elevation has 7 axes with a 2-window extension and an arcade in the 3 central axes and a centrally located entrance. The house has rich architectural detail (e.g. decorative entrance door). The building is in a very poor condition.
A detached, wooden granary/coach house has also survived.

The southern elevation has   6 axes with an entrance in the 3rd axis from the west.
A building without a number is a Dutch homestead of the longitudinal type (originally, probably the cross-shaped layout) situated at the southern end of the village, on the western side of the road, facing it with its gable. The building is separated from the road by a small, well-kept park. The house dates from the 3rd quarter of the 19th century. It has a log structure with covered quoins, a low pointing sill, a vertically boarded gable, a high, ceramic roof, and a wooden porch located in front of the gable entrance. The residential section is located on the eastern side. It has a stylish hallway, which separates the rooms. The western section is separated from the rest by a black kitchen and a utility hallway.

The finial is decorated with fretwork. The southern elevation has 7 axes with an entrance in the 3rd axis from the west.
There is a wooden, half-timbered, boarded granary in th  northeastern section of the yard. It used to be connected to a livestock building.
The Mennonite cemetery is situated in the eastern section of the village, on a rectangular plot divided into 6 sections by one longitudinal and two crosswise alleys. There are several dozen gravestones in the cemetery, including stone and iron cast crosses, stalls, and cippuses. A wooden stall of Jacob Entz from 1811 mentioned by Schmid has not survived. A stone stall of Peter Töws from 1829 is the oldest gravestone.
Until 1950, the village had a Mennonite church from 1768. It had a log structure with quoins covered by boards imitating rustication, half-timbered, vertically boarded gables, a suspended roof structure, and a pantile roofing. The church was erected on an elongated rectangle layout with galleries and an apartment under the southern gallery. The western elevation had 8 axes, a double-leafed doors and small windows above, in the 4th and 6th axes from the north. The building had 3 large windows located between doors and low windows (in two levels) in the 1st, 7th, and 8th axes.
