Polonka cemetery

Cemetery with Polish gravestone monuments. Information about the cemetery has been published (see bibliography). According to Anna Lewkowska, Jacek Lewkowski and Wojciech Walczak, the active Catholic cemetery in Polonka has a rhombus plan and an area of 0.2 ha surrounded by a wooden fence. It was established at the beginning of the 20th century. Most of the graves here are Orthodox, but there are several Catholic graves from the 1930s. One of the inscriptions reads: "S. P. JOZEFA / HOŁUBNICKA Ż. 54 L. / ZM. 1933". The aforementioned authors report that "the cemetery is difficult to access, overgrown with self-sown bushes."
