History

The All Saints Chapel is the cemetery chapel of Salwator Cemetery in Zwierzyniec, opened in 1999. It took over this role from St Joseph's Chapel, which was funded by the Norbertine abbess Eufemia Żarska and served this purpose for more than a hundred years. Before that, after the cemetery was founded in 1855, funeral services were held in the Norbertine nuns' church in Zwierzyniec.
