Military Сemetery of the First World War

Historic area , Monument

The military cemetery of the First World War is located in the rural cemetery on the outskirts of Hlynsk.

Soldiers who died in 1915 during the campaign of the Austro-Hungarian army to Lviv occupied by Russian troops are buried here. Nearby are Ukrainians, Poles, Germans and Hungarians.

The entire cemetery is crowned by a rectangular memorial column, as a symbol of the triumph of the Austro-Hungarian troops over the Russians. On the four sides of the column, dedications to the fallen soldiers are written in four languages - German, Hungarian, Ukrainian and Polish.

The battle that took place in the vicinity of the village of Hlynsk on June 21, 1915, enabled the troops of General Bom-Ermoli to liberate Lviv from Russian troops. Reburials were carried out in July 2015.
