The new cemetery was established in 1928. It was not marked on old maps. A few dozens of gravestones were moved from the old cemetery when it was demolished. The cemetery was operating after WWII.
The exact period of the cemetery’s establishment is unknown. According to epigraphic data, it already existed in the mid-19th century. First, it appears on Russian maps of the beginning of the 20th century. Later it was marked on Polish maps of 1939. The cemetery was fenced by ESJF in September 2016.
