Zapendowo (Zapędowo), Kreis Konitz, West Prussia
Zapendowo is a former
manorial village on a hilltop just east of Konitz initially associated with Polish nobility family Zapędowski. However, today it is a small village of independent farmers on a rise in the rolling hills. Some of the villagers live in interesting old houses so here is a picture of those houses:
This village was the residence of Johan Remus and Anna Marie Halweg who lived there just after the First Partition of Poland in 1772.
