Close to the church is a cemetery which belonged to a war-time hospital, active in Lärbro 1939–1946. Although never extensively used by the Swedish army since Sweden did not take part in the fighting in World War II, the hospital admitted refugees with tuberculosis, including refugees from the Soviet occupation of the Baltic States, former concentration camp prisoners from Auschwitz and Bergen-Belsen and even fleeing Wehrmacht soldiers. The hospital treated circa 500 patients from concentration camps, many Polish nationals. Of these 45 did not survive, and they are buried in the cemetery. Polish authorities have erected a memorial plaque in the cemetery in memory of those deceased.
