Jewish cemetery in Mikulov

The Jewish Cemetery Mikulov is a Jewish cemetery in Mikulov (German Nikolsburg ) in the Jihomoravský kraj (German: South Moravian Region ) in the Czech Republic .

The cemetery extends over the entire northern slope of Kozí vrch ( Gaisberg ) and was probably laid out in the 15th century. The oldest preserved tombstone ( Mazewa ) dates from 1605. It is particularly interesting because of its age and the fact that there are almost 4000 tombstones in the style of Renaissance , Baroque and Classicism on an area of ​​almost 20,000 m² .
