The war cemetery from the First World War No. 80 in Sękowa, is located on the slope of the hill, east of the village. It was built according to the design of the German architect Hans Mayr. 468 soldiers of the Austro-Hungarian army are buried there, 378 from the German army and 360 from the Russian army, killed mainly in March and May 1915. At the front of the cemetery there are four stone pylons, further on the axis a concrete cross on a massive pedestal, and a pergola behind him. The original design envisaged the construction of a monumental chapel in the upper part of the cemetery.

The cemetery lies on steep terrain on several terraces. At the edge of the second terrace there is a tall concrete cross between two courses of stairs leading to a pergola vegetation, which is heavily overgrown with vegetation, constituting a kind of honorary courtyard. The graves of the fallen in the field of glory were locked on large, grassy surfaces and decorated with cast-iron crosses. 468 soldiers of the Austro-Hungarian army, 378 German and 360 Russian were buried there.
