War cemetery from the First World War no. 329, Niepołomice

Krzyż i nagrobki na cmentarzu nr 329 w Niepołomicach

ul. Staniątecka, 32-005 Niepołomice Tourist region: Kraków i okolice

This is an example of building war cemeteries at existing facilities, in this case at the roadside shrine from 1819.
Within the fenced area belonging to the shrine there is a resting place of 8 Russian soldiers killed at the end of 1914. There existed here probably one mass grave. There are two-armed forged Orthodox crosses on them. Ground tombs, marked with crosses of wrought iron, set on concrete plinths, on one of them – a across mounted on cast iron base with sides formed from a pair of volutes, dated 1914. The cemetery fence is made of massive chains stretched between concrete pillars. The shrine along with the greenery with 2 lindens in the context of the soldiers’ graves has gained a symbolic value as a historical monument.
