Information about the object:
The historic Catholic cemetery in Drohobych used to be the main town cemetery, where burghers were buried from the end of the 18th century. The cemetery itself is located on a high hill near the city centre. Much of the cemetery's substance - including tombstones - is damaged, overgrown and covered with leaves that nobody cleans up.

The maintenance concerned two tombstones.

The first is the family tomb of the Piechowicz family - a family associated with the town since at least the 17th century. Buried in the tomb is, among others, Franciszek Piechowicz, the father of Michal Piechowicz, the last mayor of the city, who was murdered in Kiev and buried in Bykov. The tomb is decorated with bas-reliefs built into the walls.

The second gravestone with a blurred inscription, on which before the restoration work only the Pvt. Merynowicz, depicts a female figure.

Completed works:
The project includes conservation work on two tombstones in the cemetery on Truskavetska Street in Drohobych, Ukraine.

Funding: Programme of the Minister of Culture and National Heritage "Protection of Cultural Heritage Abroad".
