Cemetery of Polish Army soldiers killed in the Polish-Bolshevik war together with a grave from the January Uprising

The war cemetery from the 1920 battles was established in 1923 around the mass grave of the January insurgents, in which 18 unknown insurgents from Gustaw Czechowicz's (Ostoja) unit, killed in battle on 5.06.1863 near the village of Lubki, are buried. Initially, the insurgents' burial was an earth grave with a wooden cross. In 1923 this cross was replaced by a concrete cross, identical to that on the graves of soldiers killed in 1920. The soldiers buried here from the 1920 battles belonged to different regiments, five of them fought as part of the 67th Infantry Regiment. The cemetery consists of 2 rows of tombstones - the first row (closer to the fence) currently contains 12 military graves (10 named and 2 unnamed - resting with 5 unknown soldiers) and 3 civilian tombstones (deeper in the cemetery), the second row contains 1 grave without inscription and 1 grave of January insurgents. There is no central commemoration. There used to be another grave in the cemetery - in the row by the fence, it was located to the left of the current first grave in this row. It is not known when or why this grave was removed. In 2019, the graves of the 1920 soldiers and the grave of the January insurgents were renovated with funding from the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage. During the works, 4 graves - 3 civilian graves and 1 grave with an undetermined burial - were not renovated. Due to the considerable deterioration of the tombstone material, granite replicas were made.
