Cemetery in Koscienievičy

The active Catholic cemetery, established in the 2nd half of the 19th century, is located outside the village. The cemetery has a rectangular ground plan and is situated on a flat area. An axial path runs through the establishment. It is bordered to the south and west by the new cemetery. It occupies an area of 0.9 hectares and its fencing is dilapidated. The state of preservation of the establishment is good. Burials from the 1st half of the 20th century predominate. The oldest preserved tombstone belongs to Napoleon Halicki and was created in 1870.
