There is no data on when the earliest Jewish community was established. The Orthodox cemetery was established in the first half of the 19th century. The suburban flat land on outskirts of town, adjacent to the parish Roman Catholic cemetery has no sign, gate, or wall. Reached by turning directly off a public road, access is open to all. The cemetery covers an area of about .7 ha. 1-20 gravestones, some in original locations with more than 75% mere fragments of broken or toppled stones are made of sandstone. Their dates, inscriptions, and engravings are difficult to determine due to deterioration and the overall poor condition of the fragments. Apparent are Hebrew inscriptions. There are no known mass graves. The municipality owns site used for agriculture and waste dumping. Adjacent properties are the Catholic cemetery and residential properties. Rarely, local residents and private visitors stop. The cemetery was vandalized during WWII, and occasionally since, still subject to a moderate vandalism threat. No maintenance.
