Cemetery in Paszkowce

Cemetery with Polish gravestone monuments. Information about the cemetery has been published (see bibliography). According to Anna Lewkowska, Jacek Lewkowski and Wojciech Walczak, the cemetery has a rectangular plan, 15 ha in area and is surrounded by a wooden fence. It was established in the first half of the 20th century. It contains Catholic and Orthodox tombstones. As the aforementioned authors write: "It is a typical rural cemetery with unstyled terrazzo and concrete gravestones. (...) From the middle of its area, towards the east, the cemetery is very overgrown with self-sown bushes." The oldest gravestone, from 1921, has the following inscription: "KAZIMIERZ STANKIEWICZ / Ż. 90 L. / ZM. 1921 R."
