Cmentarz Bródnowski, Historic cemetery in Warsaw, Poland.
Description
Cmentarz Bródnowski is a cemetery in Targówek, Warsaw, Poland, spreading across a large area with thousands of burial sites. The grounds enclosed by a brick wall are divided into several sections with tree-lined pathways, small chapels, and a modern columbarium near the main entrance.
History
The first burials took place in the late 19th century when the city needed a new burial ground outside the center. Over the decades the grounds expanded several times to accommodate the growing population and the losses of the Second World War.
Culture
The name refers to Bródno, a district on the eastern edge of the capital. Visitors today see weathered headstones alongside well-kept family plots, where Warsaw residents regularly light candles and leave fresh flowers.
Practical
The Odrowąża Street gate allows vehicle entry, which can help when distances between sections are long. Visitors on foot should wear comfortable shoes, as pathways may be unpaved and burial sites spread over a wide area.
Did you know?
Among the thousands of graves there are separate sections dedicated to specific professions or communities. Some headstones bear hand-crafted porcelain photos, a tradition widespread in Poland that still brings color to the faces of the deceased after decades.
