In the church cemetery, just inside the fence on the street side, there is a separate Polish section. In it are buried 48 soldiers (34 known by name and 14 unknown), who fell in 1920 in the battles near Bereza. The cemetery was established in the inter-war period, and the letters MRP (Ministry of Public Works), which at that time was responsible for arranging war graves, are still preserved on the fence posts. The quarter is divided into four grave fields. Centrally between them is an obelisk, decorated with a Virtuti Militari cross. The obelisk bears the inscription: "To the heroic defenders of the Borderlands killed in the battle of Bereza on 15-16-17 September 1920". The conservation renovation of the cemetery was carried out in 2019 by the Foundation in Aid to Poles in the East, as part of a task co-financed by the programme of the Minister of Culture and National Heritage "Places of National Remembrance Abroad".
