Historical overview
Jewish community in Rypin owned three necropolises. There is no record preserved on the oldest one. The second was set up in the 18th century close to so called old power station. Its establishment was most likely connected with privilege from 1799 that among others allowed Jews to have their own necropolis. There is no trace of that cemetery nowadays.
