Cemetery in Antoniny

Cemetery in Antoniny

The cemetery is located south of the village of Antoniny on the road to Krasiłów. Very little of the cemetery has survived. What remains is a magnificent cemetery gate with a full arch, decorated with volutes and topped with a cross. On its two sides, in panels under the cornice, there are relief dates in the Roman system: on the street side "MCMXVII" (year 1917), on the cemetery side "MCMXIV" (year 1914). A fragment of the wall also remains - on two sides of the gate are brick pillars covered by a hipped roof and an overhanging pediment. The second preserved cemetery object is, according to Zbigniew Hauser, most probably the mausoleum of the Potocki family - the owners of Antoniny. Unfortunately, the inscription on the chapel has been removed, and a trace of the mural remains.
