The colony was established during the colonization campaign at the end of the 16th century. After the division (1735-40) of the Gdańsk community Wielkie Żuławy into smaller communities, the Lubieszew (Orłowska) congregation was granted a permission to erect a house of prayer and establish a cemetery. In 1800, a branch chapel was erected in Pordenów. In 1882, the Lubieszew community merged with the community in Ormowskie Pole.

Village layout - initially, the cemetery area was removed from buildings of the closest colonies; it was surrounded by roads from 3 sides; after a state farm was established, the authorities built a row of a single-storey buildings on its northern side.

The cultural landscape has been severely modified. A new housing development was built; the church was taken down after 1945. The cemetery, which had been neglected for the past 50 years, was recently cleaned. Some gravestones were renovated and put up; a new fence was built.

The wooden Mennonite church was erected in 1768 by the cemetery. It was a rectangular building with a log structure, a high, double-pitched roof, an 8-axial frontal elevation, low windows with 2-level shutters, and entrances in the axes 2 and 6. The building had a 2-level gable with low, rectangular windows in three rows. The interior had 600 seats and a gallery on three sides. The gallery was walled off by the gable wall. The building no longer exists.
The Mennonite cemetery has a rectangular-like layout and is divided into 4 sections by lime alleys. It is surrounded by limes. There are gravestones with the following names: Bernard Bergmann, Bernard Classen, Dietrich Djamin, Maria Dick, Abraham Ens, Gertruda Ens, Maria Ens, Peter Suckau, and Maria Wienp.
