The earliest known Jewish community in the town was in the 18th century. In the first part of the 19th century, a synagogue was built here beside the 19th or 20th century cemetery. The isolated rural (agricultural) flat land has no sign or marker. Access, turning directly off a public road and crossing private property, is open to all with no wall, fence, or gate. The approximate size of the cemetery before WWII was 700 sq. meters. It does not exist today. There are no gravestones. The private individual owns property now used for agriculture (crops or animal grazing). Properties adjacent are agricultural. Private visitors and local residents rarely. The cemetery was not vandalized during World War II. No threats or structures.
