Accommodation in Sarnaki

Sarnaki has four historic cemeteries, as well as a monument to the V-2 operation, a brick manor house and original industrial buildings from an old brewery.

Cemeteries and Remembrance
Sarnaki has four historic cemeteries: the churchyard, the so-called Old Cemetery, the Jewish cemetery and the parish cemetery. All four are heritage sites. The parish cemetery is still in use today—a detail that connects the historical context with the present. Their distinct names provide several clearly differentiated points of reference for exploring the history of the cemeteries.
The monument in the market square commemorates the V-2 operation. It was unveiled on 14 May 1995 and commemorates the successful acquisition for the Allied forces of the V-2 rocket that the Germans had tested in the region. Unlike the cemeteries, the monument focuses on a specific historical event. Its location and exact unveiling date make it a clearly defined point of interest for anyone interested in the history of the Second World War.
Manor House and Brewery Buildings
The brick manor house in Sarnaki was built in 1830 and once belonged to the owners of Sarnaki. It has since been converted and is now owned by the Sarnaki Forest District. Its construction date, former ownership and current ownership mark different historical perspectives on the same building. The manor house thus complements the themes of remembrance and cemeteries with a trace of architectural history.
Original industrial buildings from an old brewery can also be seen in Sarnaki. The brewery dates back to the 18th century. While the manor house is associated with a specific year of construction, the brewery’s history points to a commercial origin. Together, the two sites reveal different aspects of local history: a single brick manor house and the surviving buildings of a former brewery.
