Roman Catholic cemetery in Rajcza, Roman Catholic parish cemetery in Rajcza, Poland

The Roman Catholic parish cemetery in Rajcza lies on flat ground beside the main village road, between the parish church and the Soła river. Its north-western corner holds a war quarter, where most graves are topped by cast-iron crosses designed by Hans Mayr with motifs of the Iron Cross, a sword and a wreath, cast free of charge at the foundry in Węgierska Górka about 14 km away. A cemetery chapel at the edge was enlarged around 2006 to a design by Magdalena Piątek and Joanna Łopata of the Żywiec studio Mpstudio, and a stone Nepomuk statue with amateur polychrome stands in the corner by the road.

The cemetery was established in the mid-19th century, after the parish was erected in 1844, on flat ground by the village's main road between the parish church and the Soła river. Before that, the dead were buried in the churchyard by the old wooden church at the foot of Compl. It was entered in the register of immovable monuments of the Silesian Voivodeship on 30 November 1989.

The graves display traditional crosses and religious symbols that reflect how the local Catholic community honors its dead. Walking through the burial ground, you notice names and inscriptions that connect families across generations.

The cemetery is easily accessible on foot with maintained pathways throughout the grounds. Visitors should dress respectfully and be mindful of the quiet atmosphere, particularly when others are paying respects at grave sites.
