The Jewish cemetery in Ustrzyki Dolne was probably created in the 18th century, and is located on the northern slope of Gromadzyń, directly by the railways. The cemetery is accessed by a black walking trail. The cemetery covers the area of ca. 0.8 ha; currently, you can see ca. 300 matzevahs there.

The creation of the cemetery was related to the dynamically developing local Jewish community in Ustrzyki Dolne. The Jewish cemetery was partially destroyed during the Second World War. There used to be a synagogue near the cemetery, but it was reconstructed in 1968-1971. Currently, in the former temple from the 1st half of the 19th century, there is a District and Municipal Public Library.

The Jewish cemetery can be visited all year long, depending on current weather conditions.

There is no entrance fee.
