Municipal cemetery (Cieszyn)
The communal cemetery ( Polish : Cmentarz komunalny ) is a cemetery in Cieszyn and was established in 1891 on the northern city limits when the old cemetery at St. George's Church became too small. Burials continue to take place here. The cemetery is administered by the city of Cieszyn and is located on Bielska street north of the old town. It is now the largest cemetery in the city with 6.94 hectares.
The cemetery also houses a mass grave for the victims of the Nazi occupation as well as military cemeteries from both world wars.
The cemetery is a listed building.
