Wielki Las: Local History and Evangelical Cemeteries

Wielki Las offers historical points of reference from the 19th and early 20th centuries. If you choose a destination based on its local history, this provides a clear thematic framework for planning your trip. The wider destination of Piski offers additional topics that broaden the perspective beyond the history of the settlement.

Local History and Cemeteries

The settlement of Wielki Las was relocated in the 19th century. The change in the settlement’s location is therefore part of the destination’s historical context. This aspect differs from the dates of the individual cemeteries: it draws attention to settlement history as a distinct layer. Relocating a settlement concerns its location, while the cemeteries are independent historical points of reference. For thematic orientation, you can consider these two layers separately.

Wielki Las has an Evangelical cemetery dating from the early 20th century. Another Evangelical cemetery is located in Wielki Las (Kulik) and dates from the 19th century. The 19th century therefore encompasses both the relocation of the settlement and the cemetery in Wielki Las (Kulik), while the cemetery in Wielki Las belongs to the early 20th century.
