General site condition
The Neolog Jewish cemetery has a fence and a gate, but the gate is open. This is the oldest Jewish cemetery, with nearly 1,800 graves. The middle of the plot is a hill, the eastern and western parts are sloping. The eastern part, where the old graves are, is still more or less tidy, but as we move westward it becomes more and more neglected. There is also a funeral parlor. The southern wall is shared with the Catholic cemetery, it has started to collapse, which is being repaired.
