Burial site of the von Lestwitz-Itzenplitz family

The family grave of the von Lestwitz-Itzenplitz-Oppen family is located at the back part of the cemetery of Kunersdorf in the municipality of Bliesdorf south of Wriezen. It was built for the families von Lestwitz, von Itzenplitz, and von Oppen, the estate owner families of Kunersdorf. The cemetery lies behind the village church of Kunersdorf on the B167.

The basic shape of the family grave was designed in 1790 according to plans by Carl Gotthard Langhans in the style of German classicism. A column colonnade in Doric order forms the foundation of the grave. The colonnade contains nine niches for the grave markers, which exist both in stele form and in urn form. In front of each niche is a sandstone slab serving as a gravestone. The family grave is made of sandstone; the urns and steles are made of marble. There is a fence around the family grave. In front of and beside the column colonnade, there are additional graves. The family grave was restored from 1995 to 1997.
