A nice cemetery and a well-kept, two chapels, four gates, two north and two south and in front of them four shops are florists, you buy candles wreaths, flowers. At the cemetery old trees, shade and peace, the new is sunny. You can meet friends from here and there In the southern part of the chapel, an important place, are commemorative plaques description of the place. Polish Soldiers rest here, contrary to appearances, this is not a lonely place. There are sandwiches and there are young people who meet here, they burn candles and lay flowers. It is just a nice place I like to come here. Someday they will bring me and I will stay here permanently.

Well-kept recently. Lots of positive changes.
