Cemetery in Talmonte

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 is located in the western edge of Talmontów. It has a trapezoidal plan and a 0.1 ha unfenced (only a dozen or so concrete posts remain) area. It was created in the 2nd half of the 19th century. Most of the gravestones are from the 1st half of the 20th century. A few tombstones from the late 19th and early 20th centuries have survived. The oldest, from 1899, bears the inscription: "MAŁGORZATA Z BURDOWSKICH / GADOMSKA / UM. 25 JANUARY 1899 AGE 60 / MEMORIALISED BY HER DAUGHTER STEFANIJA". The cemetery is maintained in good condition.
