In Warcin (Słupsk district), on a hill near the palace, called Czarcia Góra, there are remains of the von Bismarck family cemetery. Before Otto von Bismarck built the family mausoleum there, it was a place of execution. One of the last Pomeranian "witches" named Svanita was burnt here (in 1786). Chancellor Joanna's wife was buried there for the first time, but after her husband's death in 1898. her body was moved to Friedrichsruh near Hamburg, where the chancellor was buried, so that she could rest at his side. The mausoleum was demolished after 1945, and the tombs were plundered ... Apart from the remains of the mausoleum, three tombstones have survived. One of Otto's sons, Wilhelm Otto Albrecht von Bismarck-Schönhausen, who died on March 30, 1901 in Warcin, and Wilhelm's wife, Sibylle née Arnim, who decided to stay in the palace until the end of the war and just before the Soviet troops entered in March, were buried at the cemetery. 1945, she committed suicide. The son of Sibylle and Wilhelm - Nikolaus, who died on January 20, 1940, was also buried here, but after 1945 his remains were transferred to the cemetery in Kępice.
