The cemetery is located immediately below the top of the hill called Turkawka (Turtledove) by local residents. The cemetery was built on a plan of an irregular polygon similar to a rectangle with the northern corner slightly truncated. It is surrounded by a wall made of sandstone blocks with a gable concrete cover. The entrance, closed with a single-wing wooden gate, is on the eastern side. The main element of the cemetery is a stone monument forming a shrine of a square cross-section, surmounted with a Latin cross, located in the north-eastern fence line. In a recess on the front side of the monument, there is a cast-iron openwork Latin cross. The graves are irregularly arranged in rows.

The tombstones are set on concrete pedestals and take the form of:

- cast-iron openwork Latin and two-barred crosses,
- wrought flat bar Latin crosses with three-point arm endings,
- wrought two-barred crosses.

123 soldiers of the Austro-Hungarian army and 51 soldiers of the Russian army were buried in 21 mass and two individual graves.
