Cemetery in Mysatycze

Myślatycze | Ukraine
ukr. Myszlatyczi (Мишлятичі)
The church cemetery in Mysatycze preserves tombstones of the local nobility, which are interesting and in good condition. It is difficult to deduce the date of its foundation; according to Hauser, it may even date from the time of the now defunct Gothic church of 1442, which stood on the site. The oldest gravestone, in the form of an obelisk topped by a cross entwined with a wreath and drapery, belongs to Marcin Smarzewski.

The most impressive gravestone is the tall stone obelisk topped with a ball on the grave of Antoni Rozborski (d. 1876). Hauser also mentions a neo-Gothic obelisk topped with a stone cross on the grave of Franciszek Boncza Rutkowski (d. 1897) and an imposing obelisk of black marble on the grave of Tadeusz Szeliga and Krystyna Łucja Szeliga Neymanowski, from the workshop of F. Majerski in Przemyśl. The last of the gravestones bears an interesting inscription, which also appeared on gravestones in other cemeteries - "I lived boś chciał / I died boś kazał / Save Lord because you can".
