Cemetery in Cieszewla

Cieszewla | Belarus
biał. Cieszaule (Цешаўле)
Cemetery with Polish gravestone monuments. Information about the cemetery has been published (see bibliography). According to Anna Lewkowska, Jacek Lewkowski and Wojciech Walczak: "The active Catholic rural cemetery is located 200 m south-east of the edge of the buildings. Situated on a hill to the north, it is surrounded by fields. It is enclosed on two sides to the south and west by a wooden fence and covers an area of 1.2 ha. (...) The cemetery was established at the beginning of the 20th century. Orthodox burials prevail in the cemetery. A few dozen Catholic ones with inscriptions in Polish have survived, the oldest one from 1935, on the grave of Józefa Howsówna. The tombstones are styleless, lacking artistic and historical value. "Inscription from the oldest tombstone: "S. P. / JOZEFA HOWSÓWNA / ¿. 18 L. ZM. 10 JAN. 1935R. / PAM. FROM THE PARENTS".
