Cemetery at St Stanislaus Church with Polish grave monuments. Documentation was made for the cemetery (4 cards stored in the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage). Information about the cemetery has been published (see bibliography).
According to Anna Lewkowska, Jacek Lewkowski and Wojciech Walczak, the active Catholic cemetery has a rectangular plan and a 1 ha area surrounded by a mesh fence. It was created in the first half of the 19th century. It is divided into an old (north-eastern) and a new (south-western) part. The aforementioned authors report that "about 30 19th century tombstones have survived (...). The rest of the cemetery is dominated by styleless gravestones from the 1st half of the 20th century and contemporary ones. The oldest legible gravestone of Peter and Michael Radowicki dates from 1841." The inscription from it reads: 'PIOTR I MICHAŁ / DAD AND SON / RADOWICCY / FOR THEM JULIA Z MIŁACZEWSKICH / TEN POMNIK POŚWIĘCA / Rku 1841 IUN. 6 D. PIOTR U: ROK 1835 / JUN 9 DAY / MICHAŁ: 1841 MAY (...) / ASKS FOR A HAIL MARY". Following the aforementioned researchers: "probably buried in the cemetery is Jozef Krahelski, owner of the nearby Kozlowszczyzna and Bienickowszczyzna estates, who was murdered by communist gangs in 1943. Despite the help of local people, his grave could not be found."
