Chorążek is a linear village founded by the Dutch at the beginning of the 19th century (between 1803 and 1827). In 1827, the village had 6 houses and 35 residents. During the initial period of its existence, the village constituted a separate settlement. At the end of the 19th century, the settlement lost its original character to such degree that it was necessary to found a new village in its place. At the beginning of the 20th century, the village of Chorążek was founded.

The village is located to the west of Szczawin Borowy. The buildings are located on both sides of a road that runs along a north-west - south-east line.

The cultural landscape associated with the Dutch colonization is detectable - numerous planted willows and poplars. One building associated with the traditional colonization has survived.

Building no. 13 is located in the western section of the village; it was erected before 1945. The building includes a residential section and a cowshed (on the western side). The walls are made of bricks and are plastered on both sides. The roof has a double-pitched, rafter-collar beam structure roofed with sheet metal.

The building has a two-bay, five-axial layout with three-axial residential section. An entrance hall has been added to the southern side of the building; it has an entrance that leads to the kitchen. The building is very well preserved; it has been considerably altered at the beginning of the 1980-ties.
