Lipowa Street cemetery, Lublin, cemetery in Lublin, Poland
Lipowa Street cemetery is a burial ground in Lublin organized into multiple sections serving different religious communities and military graves. The grounds are planted with mature trees and contain numerous gravestones spanning different eras, from simple markers to elaborate sculptures with detailed carvings.
The cemetery was established following a 1792 decree requiring burial sites to be moved beyond the city walls. The land was purchased from a monastery at the city's edge and planted with lime trees, which gave the street its name.
The cemetery reflects Lublin's religious diversity through separate sections for Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant believers, as well as military graves. Each section displays different gravestone styles and traditions that represent the various communities that have called the city home.
The cemetery is easily accessible by public transport at ul. Lipowa 16, with several bus lines serving the area. The grounds are wheelchair accessible with pathways suitable for visitors with varying mobility needs.
The military section holds an urn containing earth from the location where poet Józef Czechowicz died, serving as a special memorial to this important figure. An admired 1888 monument created by sculptor Bolesław Syrewicz for the Bobrowski family demonstrates masterful stonecraft that continues to impress visitors today.
