The Jewish cemetery was established on February 22, 1765. In 1890, a funeral home was built and the area was fenced.
The last known burial took place in 1923. The cemetery was closed in 1926.
During World War II, the Nazis probably devastated the cemetery, but it was not completely destroyed, the funeral home was probably burned down during the events of Kristallnacht.
After the end of the war, local residents used the tombstones for various construction works. In 2009, cleaning works were carried out at the cemetery. The Foundation for the Preservation of Jewish Heritage in Poland funded a commemorative plaque. The beaten matzevot were placed in a small lapidarium. On September 20, 2009, the Chief Rabbi of Krakow, Rabbi Boaz Pasch, officially unveiled a commemorative plaque and a lapidarium.
About 60 tombstones have survived on the area of 0.4 ha. Many matzevot are damaged and the graves are collapsed. The oldest known fragment of the tombstone comes from 1811.
