A cemetery from the first half of the 19th century on Solca hill with a Neo-Gothic chapel designed by August Stüler, where General Józef Chłopicki lies.
The parish cemetery in Krzeszowice is a Roman Catholic necropolis established in the first half of the 19th century, belonging to the local parish. It lies on Solca hill, on ulica Chłopickiego in the Osiedle Parkowe estate, and is surrounded by a stone wall.
The most important building is the historic Neo-Gothic cemetery chapel, designed by August Stüler specially for Józef Chłopicki. In October 1863 the general's remains were moved to the cellars of the chapel, which was then under construction. On the wall hang plaques dedicated to Chłopicki and to Roman Załuski, Tadeusz Neyman and Dyzma Chrome.
In the cemetery are the tombs of several well-known doctors of the spa, a common section for soldiers of both world wars, a Katyn Cross and a plaque with the names of 18 people murdered at sites of extermination. Not far away stand the Potocki Palace and the Town Park.
