Farny Cemetery in Białystok (Polish: Cmentarz Farny w Białymstoku) is a Catholic cemetery. It is one of the oldest cemeteries in Białystok, and is located in the Wygoda district.[2]
It was founded in 1886 by priest dean Wilhelm Szwarc.[3] In 1888, a chapel was built in the cemetery opposite the main gate.[4]
The cemetery is home to, among others, the soldiers who participated in the Polish–Soviet War and World War II.[4]
