Kosakenfriedhof in der Peggetz, Eastern Orthodox cemetery in Peggetz district, Lienz, Austria.
The cemetery contains 28 graves holding approximately 300 Cossacks, with marble crosses and a memorial obelisk topped by an Orthodox cross.
Following World War II in 1945, British forces established this burial ground for Cossack refugees who died while fleeing from Yugoslavia through Italy to Austria.
The cemetery features traditional Orthodox elements, including two glass-encased icons displaying the Virgin Mary and Christ Pantocrator on marble altar tables.
Located at coordinates 46.8224, 12.7902, the cemetery opens its wooden chapel to visitors every Sunday through local caretaker arrangements.
Two marble altar tables flank the central memorial obelisk, which bears a crown of thorns on its western face.
