Kalvaryja

From open-encyclopedia.com - the free encyclopedia.

Kalvaryja (be: Кальварыя) is a Catholic Calvary cemetery in Minsk, Belarus which contains a small Catholic chapel, currently used for general worship. The original wooden Catholic church was first built here back in 1673, but currently the oldest remaining graves are from 1808. The small chapel was built in 1839.

Several famous Polish and Belarusian personalities from the 19th century are buried at Kalvaryja.

In 2001 the cemetery became the center of a controversy: it was revealed that the state-run company responsible for taking care of the graves was quietly destroying old graves and selling the newly freed slots to rich Belarusians.
