What many don’t know is that besides the picturesque, colorful traditional houses, Plutycze also boasts a beautiful, interesting, and exceptionally well-maintained cemetery.

Located on the southern edge of the village, beneath the forest, the cemetery belongs to the Orthodox parish in Rajsk. The oldest preserved gravestones date back to the second half of the 19th century. Several of them are boulders topped with wrought-iron crosses bearing inscriptions. Some of the gravestones are inscribed in Cyrillic, although Latin script predominates, especially among the more recent ones. Many monuments are adorned with a blue ribbon, which has replaced the embroidered linen cloths, known as ruchniki, that were once tied to the crosses.

The cemetery in Plutycze is multi-denominational. In addition to Orthodox Christians, Catholics, Baptists, and Jehovah’s Witnesses are also buried there.
