Cemetery in Podblocie

The Roman Catholic cemetery was established in the early 20th century. It is located on the north-western edge of the village. Situated on a slight hill, surrounded by fields, the area covers approximately 1 ha. The cemetery is active, preserved in good condition. The cemetery is dominated by simple, styleless gravestones from the 1st half of the 20th century. The oldest is the tombstone of Helena Linkiewicz from 1927, located opposite the entrance. Often repeated on the tombstones are the surnames Linkievich and Dymitriuk, many of the inscriptions are written in Cyrillic script in various variants.
