General site condition
The area is covered with tall grass and bushes, it is not looked after. Some of the gravestones are broken, others have sunk partially into the ground. Many gravestones are covered with moss and are therefore illegible.
The usage of the territory is unclear: the survey team did not find anything specific. According to sztetl.org.pl, “the area of the former cemetery is used as pasture land.”
Number of existing gravestones
37 tombstones were located, however many more could be found if the site was cleared as many were found sunken into the ground. The dates on sztetl.org.pl range from 1876 to 1935. Besides this, the site provides information that the cemetery existed from the 17th century until 1941.
