gm. Stegna, pow. nowodworski, woj. pomorskie

The village was formed from two earlier settlements, Steegen and Kobbelgrube. Stegna was founded ca. 1300 with its privileges renewed in 1465. Initially, it was a fishing village with inns located by a route running along the sandbar and a parish church situated in Kobbelgrube and mentioned in 1465. The church in Stegna was erected in 1683 in place of an earlier one. There are no information regarding Mennonite or Dutch settlers, but homesteads of the Dutch type were built in colonies.

Village layout - multi-street village with a church and a cemetery in the eastern section.

The cultural landscape was formed primarily at the end of the 19th century and at the end of the 20th century. It is well preserved along Gdańska street; however, further away from the street, in the northern and southern directions, there are numerous modern buildings (houses and boarding houses) erected in various architectural styles. The buildings rarely are higher than 2-3 stories.

A building at Żuławska 3 is a longitudinal Dutch homestead situated in the southern section of the village, on the southern side of a local road, facing it with its ridge. A cowshed (demolished) was separated from a house by a high fire wall. A barn has been also taken down. The house was erected in 1862 for an owner with initials G.J. It has a high, brick underpinning, a log structure with quoins imitating Tuscan pilaster, a boarded gable, an attic room in the southern roof slope, and porches in front of the southern and northern entrances.

The southern elevation has 7 axes with a centrally located entrance.
