Cemetery in Milunce (Pelikany)

The active Catholic cemetery (former parish cemetery), established in the 2nd half of the 19th century, is located on the shore of Pelikany Lake. The cemetery has a rectangular ground plan and is situated on undulating terrain. It covers an area of 0.7 hectares and is fenced with a stone rampart. The gate is located on the northern side. We can observe the displacement of old gravestones, by new ones. A path on an axis runs through the cemetery, dividing the establishment into two parts. To the right of the path is a brick chapel. Only one gravestone has survived from the 19th century - that of Franciszek Kziemierkowski from 1886. It has the form of a granite vertical slab with a cast iron cross. The inscription has been preserved; / KS. FRANCISZEK KAZIMIERKOWSKI/ PASTOR OF PELIKAŃSKI/ + 1886 R. AGE 52/ PLEASE PRAY THREE HAIL MARY/. Information about the cemetery has been published (see bibliography).
