This small civil cemetery includes a charnel house with the remains of 281 Italian soldiers, recruits from Carinthia (Kärnten) and volunteers of World War I. The charnel house, which was built after the war, is now maintained by the Association Österreichisches Schwarzes Kreuz (ÖSK). The inside of the charnel house can only be seen on All Saints’Day (1 November), All Souls’ Day (2 November) and St. Barbara’s Day (4 December).
