Cemetery in Vojutycze

Wojutycze | Ukraine
ukr. Wojutyczi (Воютичі)
What remains of the parish cemetery that stretches around the church is a former mortuary - a garden chapel of Baroque character (possibly from the late 18th century), with semi-circular windows (one of which is bricked up). It is covered by a tin tent roof. For some time it served as a room for the orchestra playing at church ceremonies.

Seven epitaph plates of the Tchórznicki family survive inside the church, including four on the pillar of the left chapel and three on the pillar of the right chapel.

On the outer wall, two epitaphs of the owners of nearby Nadyb have survived (but in poor condition): Leon Szeptycki (1850-1871), of the Podkowa coat of arms, and Colonel Władysław Tchórznicki (1779-1861), an officer in the Polish army, of the Jelita coat of arms.

Information about the cemetery published (see bibliography).
