The cemetery was a place of religious and patriotic celebrations organized by Ukrainian emigrants living in Poland in the interwar period. After 1945, when Ukrainian communities in Pomerania and Kuyavia dispersed, it was forgotten. Its renovation was initiated in 1991 by Emilian Wiszka, a historian dealing with the Ukrainian community in Poland, and Colonel Szymon Smetana. Since 1993 on the first Saturday of June the cemetery is a place of ecumenical services.
The cemetery complex consists of a barrow with a Zaporozhian cross, 21 gravestones with crosses, no name plates, and a fence with information boards.
