Jewish cemeteries of Vilnius, Jewish burial grounds in Vilnius, Lithuania
Three distinct Jewish cemeteries in Vilnius hold 6,500 graves, featuring traditional stone markers with Hebrew, Lithuanian, and Polish inscriptions.
The first cemetery, established in 1487 near Gediminas Tower, served the community until 1831 when Russian authorities closed it for fortress construction.
The cemetery in Sudervės contains the relocated tomb of the Gaon of Vilna, making it an essential destination for Jewish visitors worldwide.
The Sudervės cemetery opens daily from 9 AM to 7 PM, except Saturdays and Jewish holidays, with access via bus 46 from Green Bridge.
Soviet authorities repurposed tombstones from the Olandų Street cemetery for construction projects throughout Vilnius during the mid-20th century.
