The Bytom Mater Dolorosa Cemetery is one of the most beautiful and richest in sepulchral art monuments of the necropoles in Upper Silesia. It was founded in the late 60s of the nineteenth century. It is located at Piekarska Street, which runs from the city center to the north. In 1882, a Neo-Gothic chapel, designed by Hugo Heer, was erected on the cemetery. In the following decades, well-known inhabitants of Bytom were buried here. Their graves are decorated with beautiful monuments.
