Emil Schrape's Mausoleum

Emil Schrape's mausoleum stands in the forest around 600 metres west of Wodniki Górne, in Milicz County.

Who is buried here

The structure was built as the tomb of Emil Schrape, who lived from 1860 to 1926, one of the last owners of the palace in Wodniki Górne. The mausoleum was completed in 1926 and he is the only person buried there.
