Samhorodok cemetery

The Catholic cemetery in Samhorodok is located on the left side of the road to Koziatyn. It is a cemetery hidden in bushes and neglected. The remaining monuments on it represent a higher level of workmanship and materials. Only tombstones with inscriptions in Polish have survived. It can be assumed, also based on the names of those buried, that this was a cemetery of the nobility. Zbigniew Hauser found 8 gravestones with inscriptions and 3 unnamed ones.

The most impressive tombstones are the obelisk on the grave of Jadwiga Saryusz-Wolska from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, a plinth disturbed by an undermining, and a monument without a finial, decorated with a geometrised ornament of acroterions and keel arches, with an engraved inscription on the side, in a cast-iron fence, erected to Honorata Dąbrowska, who died in 1868, which is the oldest gravestone in the cemetery, and a monument of black marble topped with a vase to Katarzyna Rehbinder, who died in 1878.

Equally interesting are the other black marble gravestones, e.g. the cross on the pedestal of Cezary Podhorski (died 1896) or the gravestones of the Hillenmeyer family from the early 20th century.
