The cemetery was established on a plan of an ellipse and is fenced with a full concrete wall. The entrance, located on the western side, is closed with a double-wing gate made of metal rods. The main element of the cemetery is formed by four massive concrete two-barred crosses facing one another, placed in the central part of the cemetery.

In the cemetery, there are tombstones in the form of stone stelae, with the following engraved inscription: ”UNBEKANNTE RUSSISCHE KRIEGER” and flat bar two-barred crosses mounted on small round concrete pedestals. At the bottom of the vertical cross slats, there are frames for enamelled plates with information about the buried.

206 soldiers of the Russian army, who were killed on May 5, 1915, were buried in three individual and five mass graves.
