Old Jewish cemetery in Roudnice nad Labem, Jewish cemetery in Roudnice nad Labem, Czech Republic

The Old Jewish cemetery in Roudnice nad Labem is a burial ground containing roughly 1700 preserved tombstones scattered across its grounds. The stones feature carved inscriptions and decorative details that span several centuries and document the history of the local Jewish community.

The cemetery was established in 1613 as a second burial site for the Jewish community and remained in use until the late 1800s. Its creation shows that the Jewish population had grown large enough to require additional burial space.

The cemetery holds around 1,700 tombstones carved in Baroque, Renaissance and Classicist styles, and in the northern part stands a group of graves of victims of pogroms. The site also includes an abandoned gravedigger's house and a former carriage house used as a garage.

The cemetery is freely accessible from the newly built forecourt on Farského street, about one kilometre west of the train station, between Třebízského and Farského streets. The site belongs to the Federation of Jewish Communities. The abandoned gravedigger's house and the former carriage house stand within the grounds.

Among the tombstones is an inscription dated 1611 that was moved from the earlier cemetery to this location. This single monument links two different burial sites and shows how the community maintained its memory over time.
