Tour Jewish cemetery

Around 1730, Salomon Simon was the first Jew to live in Oisterwijk. From that time on, several Jewish peddlers, slaughterers and traders followed. The first Jewish rabbi Jekoetiel ben Zuskind, a Polish doctor, who was sent to Oisterwijk from Amsterdam, founded a rapidly growing Jewish community. As early as 1748, a funeral of a Jewish resident of Oisterwijk took place and the cemetery was put into use.

The monumental cemetery has been thoroughly restored in recent years under the supervision of the Cultural Heritage Agency of the Netherlands. We not only want to preserve the cultural heritage but also pass it on to current generations. You are most welcome!

Reservations for the tour are required.
