7	8	9   A Polish war memorial made of carved concrete.  This is where the old German church stood.
10   The new Roman Catholic church.  It's down the road to the east of where the old German church stood.  I couldn't find the location of the old cemetery (or the new one, either).	11   The road east from  Fritzow to Stresow	12
