About this cemetery
The cemetery at 37/39 Ślężna Street began in 1856, when the Wrocław Jewish community bought plots in the village of Gabitz (Gajowice). Burials took place there from 1856 to 1942, and its eclectic layout includes monumental architecture in many styles. It is now open to visitors as the Museum of Cemetery Art.
