Cemetery in Mankovichy

The burial chapel is located on the west side of the manor pond, on a hill. It is surrounded on three sides by woodland, is very difficult to access and is devastated. It is set on a rectangular plan, covered with a gabled roof and built of stone and brick. "The door portal is centrally located, surmounted by a tympanum. Beneath the portal is the exposed entrance to the vaulted burial crypt, now empty and partly covered with rubble. One window opening each in the side walls of the chapel. The window openings are flanked by pilasters, topped with profiled arches. Four-part wooden window frames have been preserved in them". Next to it lies a Latin inscription plaque torn from the chapel wall: / D. O. M. MARIA E PRINCIPIBIS DRUCKI-LUBECKI CHLEWNO-CHLEWINSKA Maria MATRONA MORIBUS SLAVIS PROBA PHSSIMA RIGINA SIBI ALIENIS INDULGENS OFFICIIS EXPLENDIS TENA (X?)
