Cemetery with Polish gravestone monuments. Information about the cemetery has been published (see bibliography).

According to Anna Lewkowska, Jacek Lewkowski and Wojciech Walczak, there is an Orthodox-Catholic cemetery in Stolowicze, on the eastern edge. It has a 1.6 ha unfenced area. Its plan is close to an oval. It was established at the beginning of the 19th century. According to the mentioned authors, several dozens of tombstones from the second half of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century have survived. The oldest, from 1817, belongs to Wincenty Terajewicz. Its inscription reads: "D. O. M. / RESTS IN TEM / GRAVE WINCENTY / TERAJEWICZ / UM. R. 1817 FEBRUARYI / ON THE 16TH DAY HE WAS 78 YEARS OLD / ASKS FOR THREE ANGELIC GREETINGS / IN ETERNAL REMEMBRANCE / SONS FOR HIS FATHER".
