Gmina Cedry Wielkie

Gmina Cedry Wielkie is a rural municipality near Gdańsk with farmland and settlements spread across a wide territory. The area is served by roads that connect smaller villages and hamlets, forming the backbone of local infrastructure.

This territory received Chelmno rights in 1350 from Teutonic Grand Master Winrich von Kniprode, confirming its status as an organized settlement. Later, in 1552, Dutch colonists arrived and introduced advanced irrigation techniques to the region.

The area reflects traditional Pomeranian farming methods shaped by generations of rural life. The brick church with its Gothic style serves as a gathering place for the local community.

The area is easily accessible by road, connected to nearby towns of Gdańsk and Pruszcz Gdański through maintained highways. Visitors can drive comfortably and explore local villages using existing routes throughout the municipality.

The Dutch settlers who arrived in 1552 left an unexpected legacy of water engineering that fundamentally changed how farming worked in this region. Their drainage and irrigation techniques remain visible today in the landscape structure.
