Monuments and Sights

The atonement stone from the 16th century is located in the Gustow cemetery.

This atonement stone from 1510 can be found in the cemetery in Gustow. It is about 2.50 m high, 0.60 m wide and depicts a crucifix with two angels. To the left of it a kneeling man with a sword on his head can be seen, to the right of it a chalice and a coat of arms with a rune-like house mark. Atonement stones are also called murder cheeks. They were supposedly erected on the spot where a murder occurred. According to the inscription on the stone cheek, the then preacher Thomas Norenberg was beaten to death here by drunken peasants.
