Cemetery in Nový Svět
Based on an authoritative decision, St. Martin Church and the adjacent cemetery of Nový Svět/ Neugebäu Neugebäu in 1976. The cemetery crosses and gravestones were drawn outside the cemetery area. From the initiative of the community of Borová Lada and of the natives of the former Nový Svět/ Neugebäu parish, the destroyed cemetery experienced pious redressing in 2008.
The crosses and gravestones found next to the former cemetery were cleaned and re-erected. Strongly damaged  gravestones and their remainders were placed next to the building of former mortuary to a special place designated for this purpose. The original wooden cross was replaced with a new one with recovered signs there on. The sand walkway of the cemetery connects it with the memorial of casualties of the World War I. The memorial stele was cleaned, the letters of the names of war victims were gilt and the foundation bed plate was renewed. The former temporary fencing of the cemetery was replaced with a new one.
A new memorial was installed next to the cemetery entrance, to commemorate the names of the villages whose inhabitants are buried here, existence of the church and the cemetery, their demolition and the present arrangement of the cemetery.
