About this cemetery

The municipal cemetery, also called the cemetery at St Anthony, is the main cemetery of Žatec and lies on the south-eastern edge of the town. It was established after a cholera epidemic in 1850, when the town bought land for 600 gulden near the church of St Procopius across the Ohře bridge. The cemetery was consecrated the same year and the one at the church of St Wenceslas was closed. It is marked by a Neo-Renaissance gate and the Church of St Anthony of 1873, and the town's Jewish cemetery adjoins its eastern part.
