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-Orthodox cemetery has a rectangular plan and 1.8 ha of walled area. It was established at the end of the 19th century and has the largest number of modern Orthodox gravestones. The oldest gravestone, from 1890, has the following inscription: "Ś. P. KAIETAN PASZKIEWICZ / LIVED 65 YEARS / DIED. 8 DECEMBER 1890 / ASKS THOSE PASSING BY FOR AN ANGELIC GREETING". The aforementioned authors report that "the state of preservation of the older part of the cemetery is bad, while that of the newer northern part is good".
