Protestant Reformed Cemetery in Warsaw

The Protestant Reformed Cemetery in the Wola district is a burial ground featuring stone monuments, small chapels, and tree-lined paths that separate different sections. The grounds hold around 4,400 memorials that are maintained by the cemetery's administration.

The cemetery was founded in 1792 as a burial place for the Protestant community. It survived significant destruction during the Kosciuszko Uprising of 1794 and the Warsaw Uprising of 1944, with many monuments suffering damage.

You can visit the graves of well-known Polish figures from the arts and literature who are buried here. These burial sites show how the Protestant community was woven into the fabric of Polish society over generations.

The cemetery is open year-round with clear paths running between different burial areas that make navigation straightforward. The administration office can help you locate specific graves and answer questions about the grounds.

A special monument on the grounds was built using fragments of destroyed tombstones from the Nazi occupation period. This memorial honors those who perished during that dark chapter and reflects the community's resilience.
