The Jewish cemetery in Terešov was founded in 1623. After that, the Jewish community was established as the first in the Rokycany District. By separating from this community, other communities were formed in the district.[5] The first synagogue in Terešov was built around 1680.[6] The last synagogue, which was built at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries,[6] was demolished in 1964.[7]

Sights

In 1723, Václav Diviš Miseroni of Lisson, the then owner of Terešov, had built a small Baroque castle. It is a simple one-storey building with mansard roof. Today, it houses a detention institute for youth.[10]

The stone road bridge in the centre of Terešov is a cultural monument. It is a 28 m (92 ft) long bridge from the early 19th century.[11]

The Jewish cemetery is preserved until today. It is located near the village of Bílá Skála. It has an area of approximately 4,100 m2 (44,000 sq ft) with around 300 tombstones. The oldest preserved tombstones dates from the period 1725–1729. The wall of the cemetery is partly in ruins.[7]
