Historical overview
The exact period of the cemetery’s establishment is unknown. But since it appears on Russian topographic maps of 1880s it can be assumed that the cemetery emerged in the second half of the 19th century. Later it was also marked on Polish map of 1939. According to locals the cemetery was demolished during the Soviet period. Today there are no visible traces of the cemetery and its boundaries.
