• We are grateful to Dr. Joanna Szczesna of the Catholic University of Lublin for the following comments about this house:

  • "Stolp is a Latin rendering of the Polish name Slupsk.

  • This "Stolp" has absolutely nothing to do with the location called "Stolpa" (connected with the founding of the house in Zukowo (an entirely different geographic area, linquistic Circary, and house dependency).
