The Jewish cemetery of Kőszeg is located in today's Temető street, nearby the Christian cemetery.

Jewish laws strictly stipulate the location of the cemetery, it must be surrounded by a stone wall and its location from the inhabited area must be at least 50 ama, so at all times outside the city outside the dwelling houses. It was no different in Kőszeg either. Today it is surrounded by houses, but when it was established in the 19th century, the town’s residential houses had not yet reached this point.

In 1854 Philip Schey koromlay, also built a funeral home for the Jewish cemetery, which was erected in memory of his father, Moses Schey.
