Stogi is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Malbork, within Malbork County, Pomeranian Voivodeship, in northern Poland.[1] It lies approximately 7km (04miles) north-west of Malbork and 400NaN0 south-east of the regional capital Gdańsk. It is known for its historical Mennonite cemetery founded by Olędrzy, people of Dutch or German ancestry who settled Poland hundreds of years ago.
Before 1772, the area was part of the Kingdom of Poland, from 1772 to 1919 of Prussia and Germany, from 1920 to 1939 of the Free City of Danzig, and from September 1939 to February 1945 of Nazi Germany.
In Stogi there is the oldest (1768) and one of the biggest Mennonite cemeteries of Poland.
