Cemetery in Mažeikiai Velikovo

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-Orthodox cemetery is located in the northern part of Możejkowo Wielkie. It has a rectangular plan, 0.45 ha in area and is surrounded by a wooden fence. It was established around the middle of the 19th century. Currently, there are only three tombstones from the second half of this century. The oldest, from 1878, is located at the burial place of Aleksander Kuprianowicz and has the form of a granite pedestal with a cast iron crucifix. The inscription from it reads: "ALEKSANDER KUPRIANOWICZ 1878". As the aforementioned authors write, "at present the cemetery is dominated by styleless, concrete and terrazzo contemporary tombstones. (...) The state of preservation of the cemetery is good."
