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 a roughly rectangular plan, an area of 0.54 ha and is fenced with a wooden fence. It was established in the second half of the 19th century, "several typical eclectic gravestones have survived from this period. Nowadays, there is a predominance of non-tile contemporary tombstones made of concrete and terrazzo." The oldest gravestone, from 1898, belongs to Benedicta Makas. The inscription: 'Here rests BENEDYKTA / MAKAS / Ż. L. 60 UM. 17 MARCH / 1898." Also noteworthy is the inscription: "Here rests / ROMANOWSKI. BOLIESŁAW / LIVED 22 YEARS / BROTHER JÓZEF / LIVED 20 YEARS / DIED. TRAGICZNO / 4 MARCH / 1943". The cemetery is maintained in good condition
