    Old Jewish cemetery

    The Old Jewish cemetery , established in 1541, has 30-odd readable tombstones. The oldest dates from 1641 and is the oldest Jewish tombstone in Poland in its original location. The graveyard is on a hill between ul Sienna and ul Kalinowszczyzna, a short walk northeast of the castle. It is surrounded by a high brick wall and the gate is locked. Contact Mrs Honig (x081 747 8676; Apt 7, ul Dembowskiego 4) at her home, 200m north of the cemetery; she lets visitors in (leave a donation).
