Jewish Cemetery

The Jewish cemetery in Hostomice is accessible by a dirt road, turning left from the road to Běštín to the edge of the forest. It is also known as the Běštín Jewish cemetery, because it was originally built under this village. It is protected as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic.

The cemetery was established in 1837, before that the dead were buried in the Jewish cemetery in nearby Litny. After the pogrom in 1866, the Jewish community of Běštín disappeared and the cemetery was taken over by the Hostomice community. A staircase was built on the site of the early 20th century expansion to the present almost 2,000 m². Approximately 160 tombstones have been preserved, only part of the mortuary's outer wall remains. Burials took place here until World War II, after which the cemetery was gradually devastated. Since the 1990s, it has been maintained again, cleaned of air raids, the fallen tombstones have been erected and the enclosure wall with two entrances has been restored.

A memorial oak tree stands in the corner to the right of the remains of the former ceremonial hall.
