Cemetery in Łopuszno

Cemetery with Polish gravestone monuments. Information about the cemetery has been published (see bibliography). According to Anna Lewkowska, Jacek Lewkowski and Wojciech Walczak, the Catholic cemetery is located outside the village, about 300 m to the west. It has a rectangular plan and an area of 0.6 ha. It is fenced with a wooden fence. The cemetery was established in the first half of the 19th century. The oldest gravestone, dating from 1897, belongs to Jezabela Łoszkowska and has the form of a cast-iron crucifix on a pedestal made of granite. The inscription reads: "1897 / TU DOM JEJ / JEZABELI ŁOSZKOWSKA". In the cemetery there is a brick, neo-Gothic chapel, built in 1906. The pediment bears an inscription with the year of its construction and the phrase: "REQUIESCAT IN PACE". The cemetery is maintained in good condition.
