The small village of Żuławki, located in the Vistula Marshes region of northern Poland, has historically been an enclave for the settlement of Dutch Mennonites and Lutherans. This area is of significant research interest and serves as an example of the challenging management of cultural heritage in small communities located in regions with a high rate of national transformation following 1945. As a result of interdisciplinary research, educational activities, and collaboration with local authorities from 2016 to 2025, remnants of the sepulchral complex used by Mennonites and Lutherans in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries have been discovered, documented, and preserved. The example of the implemented heritage management strategies is situated within a complex socio-cultural context that influenced both the directions and forms of actions taken during the investigation period. The outcomes of all activities have been evaluated in terms of their potential long-term effectiveness.
