Katyń Chapel in Warsaw, Memorial chapel at Field Cathedral of Polish Army in Warsaw, Poland.
The Katyń Chapel in Warsaw is a memorial space within the Field Cathedral of the Polish Army dedicated to those lost in 1940. The chapel contains a large collection of tablets engraved with names that honor the deceased individually.
The chapel was dedicated in 2002 to commemorate soldiers executed by Soviet forces in the Katyń forest during 1940. This memorial project emerged to bring this long-forgotten tragedy back into public memory.
The chapel serves as a place where religious faith and military remembrance come together visibly. Visitors encounter this blend through objects and inscriptions that mark the space as sacred ground for those who died.
The chapel is accessible within the Field Cathedral complex during its regular opening hours. Information materials on site help visitors understand the significance and the names of those commemorated.
Each tablet in the chapel represents an individual who died, with around 7000 additional names still awaiting full confirmation. This incompleteness serves as a reminder that some victims of this tragedy remain without final identification.
