The exact period of the cemetery’s establishment is unknown. The oldest gravestone relates to the early 18th century, so it can be assumed that the cemetery emerged during that period. First, it appears on Austrian maps of the 1860s and, later, it was marked on maps of 1880s.

The Great Synagogue of Horodenka is an Ashkenazi synagogue completed in 1743, rebuilt at the end of the 19th century. This brick synagogue blends elements of the Baroque and Rundbogenstil style. It has been converted into a sports facility.
Information on the cemetery’s establishment is not available, but it is marked on the Austro-Hungarian map of 1880s, and, most likely, on the Austro-Hungarian map of 1860s. Presumably, the cemetery was operating until WWII.
The Synagogue in Sniatyn is an Ashkenazi synagogue built in the 1930s. This National Romantic brick synagogue has been turned into a factory.
