Abstract
The survey and archaeological fieldwork conducted in Żuławki, a small village near Gdańsk, outlined in this short article, represent the first academic investigation into the remains of a Protestant church and cemetery in Northern Poland. Before the University of Gdańsk and Gdańsk University of Technology conducted their formal research of this site, the specific history of the church and its sacral complex was not widely known or understood. Archive research provided new information, contextualizing the site within the complicated history of Lutherans and Mennonites in this region, and the survey of the brick-and-mortar structures confirmed the remains are of a 19th century church. The field work was completed between 2016 and 2021 and resulted in the church complex being taken into care by the local municipality. However, the majority of similar church complexes from this period, in this region, are still neglected and unprotected heritage.
