The Lutheran and Protestant Reformed communities originally shared a cemetery on Mylna Street in Warsaw, Poland. It then moved to a well-maintained cemetery where their burial grounds are separated by a wall.

The Protestant Reform Cemetery was established in 1792 and is located in the Wola district o Warsaw. It has seen to many historical events: fighting on its premises took place during the Kosciuszko Uprising of 1794, the November Uprising from 1830 to 1831, and the Warsaw Uprising in 1944. The fence, the monuments and the architecture of the cemetery were all destroyed during these tragic events, and were rebuilt in the second half of the 20th century. Despite the historical turmoil, many monuments of great artistic value have somehow managed to survive and still stand today with one of them being the Kronenberg Chapel, which is included in the National Historical Monument Register. A monument dedicated to those killed during the Nazi invasion of Poland during World War II was made from the rubble of destroyed tombstones. Since the Protestant Reform Church, which is Calvinist, has a high level of tolerance of other's religions and creeds, the population of those resting in this cemetery is from various ethnicity and faiths. This cemetery accepts those who have been refused for burial elsewhere. The Lutheran and Protestant Reformed communities originally shared a cemetery on Mylna Street in Warsaw, Poland.
