Overview

From 1846 to 1934 this site operated as the burial ground for Maitland’s Jewish population. The cemetery is now beautifully maintained by Maitland City Council.

The Maitland Jewish Cemetery is the largest, most intact separate Jewish burial ground in the State and has strong connections with the local synagogue in Maitland.

There are 44 plots and up to 18 headstones remaining. Each headstone contains inscriptions in Roman and Hebrew letters.

The Cemetery is listed on the NSW State Heritage Register.

Entry is accessible on foot from Louth Park Road.
