Horodyszcze Cemetery

Horodyszcze | Belarus

The Roman Catholic cemetery was established in the interwar period. It is located on a slight hill near the Pinsk-Luminiec road. The cemetery covers an area of approximately 0.15 hectares. Only a few unstyled Polish tombstones from the inter-war period have survived there, including three with legible inscriptions.

The old cemetery was established at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries. It is disused. It is located next to the church, on the high shore of Lake Horodyskie. Until World War II there were several old tombstones with inscriptions in Polish. At present, no gravestones have been preserved in the former cemetery; the only gravestone of Józef Gołębiowski (d. 1802) has been moved to the north-eastern slope of the hill of the settlement located about 100 m south of the church site.

Information about the cemetery has been published (see bibliography).
