There is a concrete wall, around 2 meters high, fencing the cemetery from the street, with a metal gate. From the sides, there are the walls of the neighbouring houses and their fences. From the back, there is a metal net fence with barbed wire, belonging (most likely) to the neighbouring field.
Preservation condition
Fenced and protected Jewish cemetery
General site condition
The cemetery is fenced but not clean, as the former caretaker (the neighbor in the No.71) reitered. There are damages in the fence with the neighbor No.66, more precisely there is no fence from the cemetery, but only his house or his fence. The fence alongside No.66 is damaged, although that fence belongs to that property not the cemetery. Litter from that house gets to the cemetery, also their dog can also get loose into the cemetery.
