Cmentarz mennonicki w Stogach

The Mennonite cemetery in Stogi is a burial ground with about 260 grave borders and 78 steles spread across the grounds. The site is structured by rows of lime trees, spruces, and an old oak tree that separate different sections from one another.

The cemetery was established in 1768 and served as the burial ground for the largest Mennonite community in the Zulawy region until the end of World War II. After the war, the circumstances for the community changed significantly.

The cemetery displays Christian symbols and biblical inscriptions on its gravestones that reflect the life and beliefs of the Mennonite community. These carefully crafted markers show how the congregation expressed their faith through their burial practices.

The cemetery is located next to a Catholic church behind the parish cemetery and can be visited during Zulawy Loop tours. It helps to note the location beforehand to find it easily when you arrive.

The cemetery preserves five additional steles that were moved from a former Mennonite burial ground in Lasowice Wielkie. These steles connect different locations of Mennonite history and expand the site's historical collection.
