New Jewish Cemetery at Olsany

As the Prague Jewish community grew, the need for larger burial grounds became apparent. The New Jewish Cemetery was opened in 1889 and originally designed to accommodate burials for 100 years - however, this capacity proved insufficient, and the cemetery was later expanded.

During the tour, participants will learn about notable figures buried here - one of the most recent being Mrs. Yvonna Prenosilova. The cemetery also bears the mark of many renowned sculptors who created gravestones here, including Josef Fanta, Jan Kotera, and Jan Stursa.
