The cemetery contains 826 individual graves and a mass grave holding 6,725 individuals who died during World War II in North Norway.
Norwegian authorities established this cemetery in 1953 to consolidate graves of Soviet prisoners of war from various locations across North Norway.
The cemetery includes memorial stones and crosses that represent different nationalities, including Russian, Polish, Serbian prisoners, and Norwegian citizens.
Located at coordinates 65.84089° latitude and 12.39243° longitude, the cemetery sits on state-owned land in Alstahaug Municipality.
