![]() The village was mentioned in 1308 and since 1310 was owned by the Teutonic Order. The village was granted the Chełmno rights. In 1425, the settlement was transferred to the Gdańsk mayor Gerard von der Becke. It belonged to Gdańsk since 1457 and then to the hospital of St. Elizabeth in Gdańsk. Since the 16th century, the village was privately owned; Dutch colonists settled there in the same century. The sources from 1776 mentioned 8 Mennonite families Claasen, Epp, Fast, Jantzen, Kroeker, Lepp, Penner, and Tilitzki. In 1820, the village had 274 residents, including 46 Mennonites. The petition from 1868 was signed by Ens, Epp, and Wiebe. Village layout - a flood bank row village and a two-sided linear village on the eastern bank of the Motława. The cultural landscape has been modified. Two longitudinal Dutch homesteads (within the village), ca. 10 wooden houses, an old belfry, several gravestones, a brick presbytery from the 3rd quarter of the 19th century (in the cemetery), and brick buildings from the beginning of the 20th century have survived. The arcaded house has been demolished. Buildings of the new church located in the village center entirely transformed this section of the village. A field layout, terpy with old trees have survived in the eastern section of the settlement.
