Cemeteries

The cemetery was established in the 1800s (Jan Herman indicates before 1830; a villager said during the cholera epidemic of 1866). It covers approximately 800 square meters on a rural hillside surrounded by agricultural fields. It is reached by crossing private property and there are no signs or markers. From the village, one goes uphill to the second farm track southwest of the village (about 2 km). Go 800 meters down the track, through fields, to the area of trees on the hillside to the left. The cemetery is surrounded by a masonry wall. The gate is missing and the pre-burial house is in ruins. There are about 50-60 stones in one half of the cemetery. Many are overturned and/or broken. All are weathered and many impossible to read. The latest burial found was in 1923. The present owner of the cemetery property is the local Jewish community (Praha).
