It is located in Třebízského Street in the northwestern part of the city. It was founded in 1613 and used until the end of the 19th century. Almost 1,700 tombstones have been preserved on an area of 4,473 m², the oldest from 1611 (transferred) and the youngest from 1896. This cemetery is an extremely valuable locality with many tombstones of Baroque, but also Renaissance character. The former gravedigger´s house used to be used for living, today it is abandoned and the depot is used as a garage. A new entrance was built in the upper part in 1999, at the beginning of 2002 the whole area was stripped of dense vegetation.
The third cemetery is situated 600 meters west of the second, at the end of the road leading to the communal cemetery. It was probably founded in 1890. It was devastated after World War II, the cemetery wall was almost dismantled and most of the tombstones disappeared (1985). The ceremonial hall in the Moorish style with a dome and Czech and Hebrew texts on the walls of the interior burned down. Less than ten tombstones from the years 1899 - 1943 have been preserved in the area of 4,679 m².
