history
Fürstenwerder was first mentioned in a document in 1352. From 1772 to 1920 Fürstenwerder belonged to the Marienburg district in the Prussian province of West Prussia , then from 1920 to 1939 to the Großes Werder district in the Free State of Danzig and after its incorporation into the Greater German Reich at the beginning of the Second World War from 1939 to 1945 to the Reichsgau Danzig-West Prussia . After the war ended in 1945, the place came under Polish administration and was renamed Żuławki. The German residents were expelled .
At the time when it belonged to Prussia, there was one Catholic and two Protestant parishes in Fürstenwerder , one of the Mennonites and one of the Church of the Old Prussian Union . The wooden church built in 1768 in the Niedźwiedzica (Bärwalde) district of the Mennonite congregation, which had been in existence since the 18th century and arose from Dutch immigrants and had 540 members in 1924, burned down in 1990.
In addition to the Roman Catholic parish church of the Birth of the Blessed Virgin Mary, a neo-Gothic brick building with a turret from 1840/1841, consecrated on October 3, 1841 , four porch houses from the 18th and 19th centuries.
