About this cemetery
The cholera cemetery in Warsaw's Praga district was opened on 16 November 1872 on the esplanade of the Śliwicki fort, to a design by the engineer Henryk Suminski. It was created during the cholera epidemic of 1872-1873 and was looked after by Cezary Skoryna, owner of a mill-stone factory. About 484 cholera victims and seven soldiers are buried there, and the site lies between railway embankments.
