A working village parish cemetery from the early 20th century on a hillside, with gravestones from 1919.
The parish cemetery in Ujsoły, on Beskidzka Street, was established in the early 20th century. It lies on a hillside, has an irregular shape and is surrounded by cultivated fields. It covers 0.81 hectares and is still in use.
The oldest surviving gravestone dates from 1919. Buried here are, among others, Józef Kotrys, who died in 1922, and Marianna Kręcichwost, who died in 1919. A survey of 1984 recorded about 200 gravestones, and the grounds were then overgrown with old oaks. A mortuary stands in the cemetery. The site was entered in the heritage register for the historical and landscape value of a village necropolis in the Żywiec Beskids.
The cemetery lies next to the Church of St Joseph in Ujsoły.
