The Catholic-Orthodox cemetery in Kobrin was probably established in the first third of the 19th century, which is indicated by the oldest preserved tombstones in the Dziekoński family section (Albina Dziekońska, died 1832). The cemetery is located in the eastern part of the town, its state of preservation is good, the cemetery remains active. Its area of approximately 9 ha is surrounded by a brick wall (to the west) and a metal fence. Old Catholic and Orthodox burials are found throughout the area, the cemetery has not been subdivided, its layout is ordered by a path. The cemetery is dominated by gravestones from the second half of the 19th century. Polish burials include a sandstone gravestone in the form of a rock mound by Adolf Trębicki, a former officer in the Polish Army (d. 1881). An artistically interesting gravestone is the stylised rock mound of Feliks Bańkowski (d. 1884), signed: 'Arasymowicz. Vilnius." It was made by Jan Harasymowicz (Arasymowicz), one of the most important sculptors working in Vilnius in the second half of the 19th century. In the central part of the cemetery there are, among others, the gravestone of Duchess Julia Masalska, née Pachniewska (died 1896), the wife of Ignacy Massalski, a judge of the Grodno Court of Appeal, and the Kosciuszko family section, where the gravestone of Antonina Trauguttowa, née Kosciuszko, Mickiewicz - the widow of Romuald Traugutt, who died in 1906, married Franciszek Mickiewicz, the nephew of the poet Adam Mickiewicz - is located. Also of artistic and historical interest are the tombstones of Dr. Wacław Żabiński (died 1891), the granite cross on a pedestal of Stefan Seweryn Malinowski, an officer of the Polish Army (died 1863), a sandstone pedestal with an urn by Antoni Zadarnowski (d. 1884), a pedestal column made of black granite by Emilia Grot Nowomiejska (d. 1897) and an arcaded gravestone by Konstancja Radowicka, née Kazanowicz (d. 1879). The intermingling of Orthodox and Catholic gravestones testifies to the bi-denominational function of the cemetery from its inception.
