Voronov 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 Voronovo has a roughly square plan and a 0.9 ha walled area. On the western side it adjoins the church square. It was established in the 2nd half of the 19th century. The oldest, from 1872, has the following inscription: "IGNACY FLORENTY / ZARZECKI / HERBU WARNA / UR. 19 DECEMBRA 1802 R. / UM. 4 NOVEMBRA 1872. / MAY THEY REST IN PEACE". The aforementioned authors write that "The vast majority are styleless gravestones from the 1st half of the 20th century and contemporary." The cemetery is maintained in good condition.
