As part of the Ukrainian-Polish project “Common Heritage”, 2 tombstones and 5 gravestones will be restored at the Lychakiv cemetery. All works are financed by the Polish institute “Polonica”, and they are performed jointly by Ukrainian and Polish specialists.
Lilia Onyshchenko, adviser to the mayor of Lviv on matters of cultural heritage preservation, said that this year, the tombstones of the Klein family and the Mahek family, as well as tombstones on the graves of Konstantin Chilinskyi, Eustachy Mianchynskyi, Julian Shaer, the Ivanovich family, and Petro Sushkevych were chosen for restoration. Restoration work has already begun on some objects. And all work should be completed by the end of this year.
As a reminder, within the framework of the “Common Heritage” project, tombstones on the graves of famous people, or those with artistic value, are being restored. Objects for restoration are chosen every year by a joint Polish-Ukrainian commission.
In addition, the project has been operating in Lviv since 2007. During this time, about 100 gravestones were restored at the Lychakiv cemetery.
