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 has the plan of an irregular quadrangle and an area of 0.6 ha. It was established in the mid-19th century. Several tombstones from the second half of the 19th century have been preserved. The oldest one, from 1871, has the form of an oval, horizontally laid granite slab with an inscription: "CORPSE OF MARJA WASIUKOWNEY / R. 1871". The cemetery is maintained in good condition.
