11. For anyone interested: it is a war cementary. There was a huge battle between Austro-Hungarian and Russian armies in the area around 1915 and Austrian ministry of war took care of the fallen, no matter from which army. There are approximately 400 war cementaries in the region of West Galicia.

    Here is the list in Polish: https://pl.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oddzia%C5%82_Grob%C3%B3w_Wojennych_C._i_K._Komendantury_Wojskowej_w_Krakowie
