Cemetery in Krzywoszyn

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
