Lonely Planet review for Remuh Synagogue & Cemetery

Still a functioning place of worship, Remuh Synagogue was established in 1558 by a rich merchant, Israel Isserles, but it's associated with his son Rabbi Moses Isserles, a philosopher and scholar, who is buried here. Behind the synagogue, the cemetery was founded in the mid-16th century. It was closed for burials in the late 18th century, when a new and larger graveyard was established. The tombstones have been meticulously restored since WWII, making the place one of the best-preserved Renaissance Jewish cemeteries anywhere in Europe.
