There are 20 single and 4 mass graves, where are buried Austro-Hungarian and 12 Russian soldiers killed in battle 16-21 February and 18-31 March 1915.
The cemetery is round, surrounded by a stone wall, with five towers referring to the Slavic pagan sacred buildings (gontyna). There is stone tablet on the pedestal of the largest tower, with a poem by Hans Hauptmann.
