  Funerary Art  Site of the Jewish cemetery in Lubycza Królewska, Poland

According to ESJF European Jewish Cemeteries Initiative, the cemetery was likely founded in the latter half of the 18th century and was located approximately 300 m east of the town square. It was later expanded in the second half of the 19th century. In the interwar period, the cemetery’s land was shaped like an irregular quadrangle and covered approximately 0.5 hectares. It was surrounded by a stone wall and lightly wooded. It had two buildings: a (presumed) mortuary and an ohel. During World War II, the cemetery was partially destroyed, and the tombstones were used for paving roads. After the war, the local population destroyed the remainder of the cemetery, and the wall and tombstones were used in other construction projects. For some time, the empty cemetery was used as pasture. In the 1980s the area was bulldozed, paved through with a new road, and divided into plots intended for detached houses. Currently, no traces of the cemetery remain. Only two tombstones were found, dating to the mid-19th century.
