The exact period of the cemetery’s establishment is unknown. The oldest tombstone’s date relates to the early 20th century so it can be assumed that the cemetery emerged during that period. It was not marked on an old maps. The fence was erected by ESJF in April 2017.

The Great Synagogue in Dubno was built from 1782 to 1794. It was damaged during World War II and the Holocaust and since then has remained empty. It is a brick building in a baroque neoclassical style. There are reportedly underground tunnels between the synagogue and the castle in Dubno.
The exact period of the cemetery’s establishment is unknown. According to an expedition of the US Commission in the 2000s, the earliest preserved gravestone relates to the early 17th century. In 2018, the ESJF expedition did not locate this gravestone on the site. The cemetery fence was installed by ESJF in August 2017.
Originally built in the 18th century as a Jesuit Catholic church, the Church of St. Ignatius of Loyola and Stanislaus Kostka currently functions as a Ukranian Orthodox church. This church changed denominations and functions a number of times throughout its history, switching between Orthodoxy and Catholicism, and even being used as a sport's hall during the Soviet Union.
