Jantar was a fishing village founded in 1378 by Teutonic Knights. The village used to be a seat of the Gdańsk Fischmeister, who controlled fisheries on Mierzeja. In 1820, the village had 744 residents, including 9 Mennonites.

Village layout - multi-street village.

The cultural landscape was originally formed by fishermen’s houses and Dutch homesteads; however, the it underwent drastic changes at the beginning of the 20th century as a result of construction projects related to recreational function of the village (summer houses, resorts, and tourist accommodation). Currently, it is difficult to identify the original layout of homesteads. Wooden and brick buildings from the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries have survived. There are very few examples of Dutch homesteads.

There is a Dutch homestead of the longitudinal type with a slightly higher, 1.5 story masonry cowshed on Gdańska street. The homestead is located on the northern side of the street. The house was erected in the 1st quarter of the 19th century. It is made of white bricks with red brick corners and door and window openings. It has a wooden porch and fretwork decoration in the gable.
Gdańska 51 is a house from an old Dutch homestead. It was erected in the 1st. quarter of the 19th century. It has a plastered, corner - notched structure, a high roof with asbestos tiles roofing. There is also a wooden granary/coach house, which has been transformed by modern additions.
Gdańska 54 is an address of a Dutch homestead of the longitudinal layout situated in the western section of the village, on the northern side of the street with a house located on the eastern side and a slightly higher 1.5 story cowshed. The bottom section of the cowshed is made of brick; the upper section has a frame-post boarded structure separated from the residential section by a high fire wall. The house dates from the 4th quarter of the 19th or the beginning of the 20th centuries. It has a corner-notched structure with quoins covered by boards imitating rustication, a queen post - purlin roof structure with sheet metal roofing, and a vertically boarded gable. The eastern elevation has 2 axes and a 2 axial gable. The southern elevation has 6 axes with an entrance located between half-windows in the 3rd axis from the west. The entrance has a porch decorated with fretwork.
