Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to compare the state of preservation and landscape and cultural values of cemeteries located in Miłków in the Podgórzyn commune in the south- -western part of Poland, in the Lower Silesian Voivodeship and to present the results of the landscape and natural connections analysis and the analysis of cultural heritage of rural church cemeteries. For the purposes of the article, the following analyses were carried out: historical conditions of church cemeteries in Miłków, changes in the functional and spatial structure of the studied rural area, changes in the landscape structure of villages and cemeteries, and analysis of the system of multi-scale connections creating blue-green infrastructure on a regional and local scale. It was found that both preserved to this day cemeteries together with churches in Miłków have a great historical and artistic as well as compositional and architectural value. They create an important landscape and architectural interior with dominants in the form of church towers. Cemeteries in Miłków, enrich the biodiversity of the village and create an important landscape and natural interior. Their importance in the local and regional blue-green infrastructure system should be a priority in future rural development plans.
