Cemetery in Lebedev

The active Catholic cemetery, established in the second half of the 19th century, is located on the western edge of the village. The cemetery has a rectangular ground plan and is situated on a slight hill. It occupies an area of 0.9 ha and is fenced with a metal fence. A path on an axis runs through the cemetery, dividing the establishment into two parts of different sizes. In the central part of the assemblage is a neo-Gothic brick cemetery chapel. It was built at the beginning of the 20th century on a rectangular plan, with a triangular closed apse. The oldest preserved tombstone, located in the northern part of the cemetery, belongs to Henryk Michałowski and was created in 1893. It has the form of a granite boulder, worked into rocks, topped with a cast iron cross. The inscription has been preserved: / HENRYK MICHAŁOWSKI/ LIVED 75 YEARS/ + 30 MAY 1893/ ASKS FOR ANGELIC GREETING/ MEMORY OF CHILDREN/. Information about the cemetery has been published (see bibliography).
