History
The cemetery was founded in 1915 by the project of the Slovak architect Dusan Yurkovich on the site of the parish cemetery near the Greek Catholic Church of St. Basil the Great, which does not exist today. The cemetery consists of two Austrian and Russian parts separated by low masonry. The area of the cemetery is 784 square meters.
There are 68 individual and 17 mass graves in the cemetery. 409 (according to other sources - 423 [1] ) Austrian and Russian soldiers who died in November and December 1914 are buried in them:
- 356 Russian unknown soldier. The name of only one Russian soldier is known.
- 68 Austrians from 27, 28 and 47 infantry regiments.
Until 2003, the cemetery was in poor condition. In 2006, on the initiative of the Krempna commune authorities, restoration work was carried out, after which the cemetery acquired a modern look. Crosses were installed on the cemetery in both parts.
