Bieżemce cemetery

Cemetery with Polish gravestone monuments. Information about the cemetery has been published (see bibliography). According to Anna Lewkowska, Jacek Lewkowski and Wojciech Walczak, the cemetery in Bieżemce "is located on a flat terrain, has a rectangular shape, without internal division into plots and alleys. The cemetery with an area of 0.6 ha is fenced with a partly wooden and partly metal fence (...). The cemetery was created in the 19th century, today it is dominated by styleless modern burials. (...) The state of preservation of the cemetery is good". The oldest gravestone from 1893 belongs to Klementyna Jodko. The inscription: "KLEMENTYNA JODKO / LIVED LAT 6 / ZM. 1893 R." Also worth mentioning is the inscription from the gravestone of Bartłomiej Gintwot: "Ś. P. BARTŁOMIEJ GINTWOT / LIVED 75 YEARS / DIED 19 JANUARY 1894. / AGGRIEVED DIETS ASK THOSE PASSING BY / TO SIGH TO GOD".
