Czombrów cemetery

Cemetery with Polish gravestone monuments. Information about the cemetery has been published (see bibliography). According to Lewkowski and Walczak, the cemetery in Czombrów is a manorial cemetery, which has a hard-to-find boundary There is a nine-metre high, now very dilapidated chapel founded in 1896 by the Karpowicz couple, inspired by the Calvary chapel in Snipiszki. Nearby is the tombstone of the foundress, Karolina Karpowiczowa (née Bulhak Karpowicz) (m. 1905) and Zofia Karpowicza Piotrowska (née Piotrowska) (d. 1905), buried with Paulina Karpowiczowa (née Vishnevska Karpowicz) (d. 1899). On the opposite side there were also gravestones, not preserved to our times. The cemetery is in a very poor condition The following inscription is noteworthy: "Ś. P. KAROLINA / Z BUŁHAKÓW / KARPOWICZOWA / UR. 1846 ZM. 1905" and "Ś. P. ZOFJA / Z KARPOWICZÓW / PIOTROWSKA / DIED. 22 MARCH 1911 / S. P. / PAULINA / Z WISZNIEWSKICH / KARPOWICZOWA / DIED. 12 APRIL 1899"
