Historical overview
On a well-mown slope overlooking the surrounding plain, several tombstones stand lovingly restored but face the wrong way. Located near Kościuszki str., the date of its establishment is unknown, but the first half of the nineteenth century is likely. The landmarked cemetery survived WWII in relatively good condition. After liberation, the abandoned site gradually became neglected. In the mid-1970s, gravestones remained, some still standing. The cemetery used to be very large, larger than today.
