The half-timbered house was built in 1731. The arcade was supported by eight pillars supporting the floor with decorative half-timbered elevation, giving it characteristic features of buildings belonging to settler olęders. The number of pillars in the arcade could range from four to even nine pieces, indicating the wealth of the owner, specifically the area of land owned counted in włóki. Above the door to the hall, the initials of the owners and the year of construction were carved. In the hall, you can see a decorative, wooden gallery that leads to the rooms upstairs. At the beginning of the 19th century, the wooden walls of the house were replaced with brick walls, filled with small bricks (so-called "holenderka"), and plastered. The renovated monument is part of a series of activities aimed at revitalizing the Mennonite Trail, running from Gdańsk through the Vistula Delta.
