Another fascinating story...and I've got to ask if you know why they put fences and gates around cemeteries?
Answer: People are just dying to get in.
The cemetery gates look really beautiful. Do you happen to know how old is it?
Greetings from Santiago, Chile :)
excellent photo and interesting choice. this is good to share. I like old cemeteries and this one evokes such history.
Piękny cmentarz, ale dla mnie smutne miejsce!
You preempted my question! Any chance to get inside? I am really interested in old cemeteries.
Most interesting photo. A gate to keep somebody out or to keep somebody in?
Beautiful.
I hope you take a photo of this gate in autmn again.
The architecture is most ineresting as it is a mix of sandstone and clinker. It gives me pleasure.
Wonderful entrance! What do the side niches stand for? Were there any statues?
Ciekawa architektura -- i te 'wieżyczki' po bokach i to nawiązanie do gotyku.
@Cristóbal - we don't know how old it is...:(
@JM - we don to remember if there were any statues. Currently, as you can see, people put there obituaries.
