The exact period of the cemetery’s establishment is unknown. It appears on cadastral maps of 1826, 1858 and 1899. It can be assumed that the cemetery already existed in the middle of the 18th century. The grave of Baal Shem Tov’s mother, Sarah, is located on the Jewish cemetery of Tovste.

The exact period of the cemetery’s establishment is unknown. Presumably, it appears on maps of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the 1880s. The cemetery was photographed by Wisia Freud in 1938. It was fenced and well-maintained as most of the cemeteries in Galician shtetls. The site was fenced by ESJF in 2017.
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 Kloyz of R. David Moshe Friedmann in Chortkiv is a Hasidic synagogue built between 1881 and 1885 by architect Jan Marcin Cieślikowski (1842–1927). This Romantic Historicist brick building is now a library.
