About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

This church was originally founded as a Protestant church in 1654. At the time, Friedersdorf (today's Biedrzychowice) was located in the Protestant Duchy of Saxony, so it attracted Silesian and Bohemian Protestant refugees fleeing religious persecution in the Habsburg Empire. Its location close to the border with Austrian Silesia also made it convenient to serve Protestants living in nearby Greiffenberg (Gryfów Śląski). The local lord, Johann Ernst von Warnsdorf, therefore financed the construction of a so-called "Border Church". It was called "Zum Jesusbrunnen", or "At the Well of Jesus", because of a small spring that was located during construction, and by 1668 it had expanded to seat 2,200 people by 1668. A new building was constructed in 1723, and it underwent another large expansion in 1753. It was restored in the 19th century and again in 1949 and 1976. When Silesia was transferred to Polish control after WWII, the authorities gave the building to the Catholic church and it was re-consecrated to St. Anthony.
