Lychakovsk Cemetery is a historical and memorial culture preserve in Lvov. It is one of the oldest graveyards not only in Ukraine, but also in the whole Europe – it’s older than Paris Pere Lachaise and London Highgate. Here the most noble and privileged citizens find their last refuge – famous politicians, priests, officers and artists are buried here.

Wow, it’s beautiful. Very peaceful, would be nice to walk through on a pretty day.
I remember my home town, it had an old cemetery and our school class would sometimes take field trips there. Everything in there was probably 100-200 years old, no new burials.
Moderation? UGH.

I love cemeteries. They are excellent sources for history.
Lwów zawsze Polski! Lwów has always been Polish!
o matko

it’s historical polish cemetery
I don’t why it is in englishrussia website 😉
there are hundreds of beautyfull gravestones and author show us few russian and one ukrainian (Iwan Franka- ukrainian writer) – a little bit manipulation
to Semper Fidelis: what are you talking about. Learn the history of the Lviv city before to tell absurd things
to Kowalski: Read topic “About” of this websait.
OK, maybe it’s Ukraine, but I wouldn’t recommend speaking Russian in Lviv 🙂
That’s true about manipulation, why didn’t you show any Polish graves? They are the oldest ones.
Some monumental photos.
Wow!real resting place.
I am not sure but in London there was an very Old Cemetery where I saw a grave dating back to 1789 I guess.
Do you have that old grave in this Cemetery?
The oldest gravestone i’ve seen on Lyczakowski cemetery was dated 1675, with inscriptions in Armenian and Polish languages on front and back side. This cemetary is a saint place (Campo Santo) for all the Polish people. And whole Lwow city too, with Former Eastern Borderlands od our country.
Some Polish gravestones:

My grandparents were born before II World War in Lwow. It’s unbelievable that over 50 percent of all ukrainian historic buildings and monuments are now in Lwow, former Polish city. Part of Lyczakowski cemetery is old Polish Military Cemetery with almost 3000 young Polish defenders of Lwow buried there after the years 1918–1920. The youngest of them was 9 years old.

bye you poor thing.
ps. Lwów – semper fidelis!
ps.2 whats Lviv? why in Lwów there is no such thing like “ukrainian” building or church?
Lots of nationalism in the comments. We’re all people struggling on one planet.
I would erase and ban the comment 11
Lots of historical “baggage” evident here. We are our own worst enemy.
Red Ruthenia, what??!
You know, just a little east of Chicago (Sha-cah-gah).

First?
Once again fantastic pictures. Would love a Cript for my garden!
Lemberg bleibt Deutsch!
Even graves are beautiful
Lwow olways polish! Remember Rezun’s!
Jewish cemetery in Piotrków Trybunalski, Poland [situated at Spacerowa/Kręta Streets] has been founded in 1792. So it’s older than Pere Lachaise and Highgate.
Nice pix, but this article screams for captions.
Something as simple as the English name of the person buried, and why they are famous.
I was there in 2013 summer. It was nice
