Cemetery in Kamenets Podolskiy

The Catholic cemetery in Kamieniec Podolski stretched on the right bank of the Smotrycz River. It was a very interesting and artistically valuable necropolis with tombstones of the nobility and intelligentsia. Unfortunately, it was devastated in the post-war years. In 2000, according to Hauser, only 13 tombstones remained. The oldest of these was the tombstone of Piotr and Apolonia Sidlecki, dating from 1847, while the most impressive was an unnamed tomb, in the form of a grotto, badly devastated, in the interior of which the author saw a sculpture of a woman in the 1990s, The tombstone of Antoni Łuczyński (d. 1899) should also be mentioned, which bears the signature of the maker "J. Wanczyn". It is a plinth with an inscription, the cross has not survived. The cemetery was still active for many years after the war, as evidenced by burials in the 1970s.
