    The cemetery is located south of the village, in a pine forest setting. It is surrounded by the original masonry wall, which is collapsed on the southwestern side at the site of the original entrance, and partially also on the northeastern side. There are no traces of a ceremonial hall in the cemetery. Approximately 70 gravestones, their fragments, or other remains can be found here. Five rows of gravestones can be distinguished. The oldest gravestone with a legible inscription date to 1830, and the most recent one is from 1926. The cemetery features motifs such as the hands of the Kohen, the Levite jug, and others. Many gravestones made from more valuable materials were stolen; others made of sandstone are deteriorating. Common surnames include Biss, Samek, Stöhr, Neuer, and Weiss. Some gravestones bear the names of stonemasons—for example, Weissmann from Skalica, or the firms Pavlik and Brablik from Borský Svätý Jur. A gravestone from 1847 belongs to Zvi ben Yehuda, who was a chazan/cantor in the local synagogue. [Ľudmila Pártošová, Peter Werner]
