Neolog Cemetery

A Neolog cemetery, established in 1873, is located about 300 meters west of the Orthodox cemetery. Several outstanding members of Slovak cultural life are buried here, including architects Eugen Bárkány (1885-1967) and Artur Szalatnai-Slatinský (1891-1962). Some gravestones in the cemetery are richly decorated with Art Nouveau and neo-Classical designs. Some of them are monumental and fenced with massive ironwork chains. Traditional symbols, such as the blessing hands of the Kohanim, the ewer of the Levites and the Star of David, can be observed. A cemetery chapel with a plaque for Jewish soldiers who fell in World War I also forms part of the cemetery compound.
