Agrykola Cemetery in Elbląg, Municipal cemetery in Elbląg, Poland.
Agrykola Cemetery lies on Agrykola Street in the Witoszewo district, east of the Kumiela river. It was formed by joining four burial grounds: the evangelical parish of the Virgin Mary, St. Anne's (1894), the Mennonite cemetery (1904) and St. Nicholas's along today's Kościuszki Street. The former cemetery chapel was enlarged in 1978–1982 into the Church of All Saints.
The cemetery began as an Evangelical parish burial ground established east of the Kumiela river, on the road to Wittenfelde. In 1894 the neighbouring St. Anne's cemetery was laid out to the west, followed in 1904 by a Mennonite cemetery and a St. Nicholas parish cemetery along today's Kościuszki Street. In the late 1930s the four necropolises were merged into a single municipal cemetery; in 1946 Polish authorities permitted it to continue as a communal cemetery, and the former Mennonite ground was levelled for a Red Army war cemetery opened on 6 February 1946.
The cemetery grew from four separate burial grounds: the Evangelical parish of St. Mary, St. Anne's (1894), the Mennonite cemetery (1904) and St. Nicholas's along today's Kościuszki Street. A war quarter in the oldest section holds prisoners of many nationalities, Polish, Italian and French soldiers, and a grave of defenders from September 1939. A Katyń cross stands beside the quarter of the Redemptorist priests.
