Gdansk Mennonite Church

The former Mennonite Church in Gdansk, which now serves a Pentecostal congregation. The Mennonite-Polish Friendship Association placed a commemorative plaque in this building in 1991, which reads,

"With thanks to God and in grateful memory of our friends in this area: For providing a homeland for Mennonites for more than four centuries. For granting religious toleration when religious persecution was common. For restoring this church, built in 1819, but badly damaged in World War II. For seeking to overcome the tragedies of war, flight and expulsion with love and reconciliation."
