Scierkov 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 active Catholic cemetery has a rectangular plan and a 1 ha area fenced with a metal fence. To quote, "it was created in the middle of the 19th century. A few tombstones from the late 19th century and early 20th century have survived, but contemporary tombstones from the 2nd half of the 20th century predominate." The oldest, from 1876, has the inscription: "HERE LIE THE REMAINS OF THE LATE / P. P. PIOTR / MARCINKIEWICZ / DIED IN THE YEAR 1876". The cemetery is maintained in good condition.
