Cemetery in Oborek

The active Catholic cemetery (former parish cemetery), established in the 2nd half of the 19th century, is on the north-western edge of the village. The cemetery has a rectangular ground plan and is situated on a hill. It covers an area of 0.9 hectares and is enclosed by a stone wall. A path runs through the establishment. There is no division into alleys and plots. The oldest dated gravestone is that of Zofia Nargielewska, née Czechowicz, dating from 1871. It has the form of a black granite pedestal topped with a cross. The inscription on it has been preserved: / ZOFJA Z CZECHOWICZÓW/ NAGIELEWICZOWA/ DIED. 12 AUGUST/ 1871/. The cemetery is well-kept and is an example of a cemetery of the noble area.
. Information about the cemetery has been published (see bibliography).
