Of the 168 buried Austrian soldiers, the identity of 163 is known. The identities of 5 Austro-Hungarian and 134 Russian soldiers have not been identified.

The cemetery with an area of 2047 m², designed by Dušan Jurkovič, is built on a plan similar to a Latin cross. It is fenced with a fence made of wooden rails connecting cuboid posts, built of quarry stone and topped with a shingle roof. The entrance is formed by a wooden double wicket. The main element of the cemetery is a two-storey, twenty meters high stone tower standing on a stone terrace. It is covered with a high shingle roof topped with an iron cross with a solar symbol on it. There are wooden Latin crosses on the four elevations of the upper story. On the northern, eastern, and southern elevations of the lower story are plaques with inscriptions in German. One of them, freely translated, says : "Here, among dark forests, fragrant herbs and mountains glittering in the distance. Brave soldiers after defeating the enemy went to rest. The grave fields of Austro-Hungarian soldiers are topped with carved wooden Latin crosses and those of Russian soldiers with carved patriarchal crosses. All the grave crosses are covered with wooden canopies attached to the cross arms with decorative wooden pins. On the joints of the crosses' arms there are carved wooden plaques with the data of the buried person, bearing very faint traces of letters. The graves, arranged in an interesting arrangement, are surrounded by stone curbs.

The object is one of over 400 Western Galician war cemeteries. It was built in 1915 in cemetery district number I by War Graves Division of C. and K. Military Commandery in Krakow.

The cemetery underwent conservation in the 1960s.
