According to ESJF European Jewish Cemeteries Initiative, the cemetery may have been founded at the end of the 16th century, when the first wooden synagogue was built. The two others were restored in the 1980s.

There are two ohels. One is dedicated to Menachem Mendel, son Józef, who died in 1815, a Tzaddik in Rymanów, a student of Elimelech from Leżajsk and Szmelke from Nikolsburg (Mikulov), and the wife of Menachem Mendel. In the second ohel lie: Cwi Hirsz Kohen, son of Juda Lejb, from 1827 a Tzaddik in Rymanów and his son Józef Friedman (died in 1913). The graves of the Rymanów Tzadikim are a destination for pilgrimage each year by many Jewsfrom all over the world.


There is an iron fence. 
The majority of the tombstones are in situ, but many of them are partially damaged and covered with moss, and their inscriptions are barely legible. According to sztetl.org and iajgscemetery.org the cemetery has 800 tombstones, and the earliest tombstone dates from 1616, based on the research of Andrzej Potocki.

Date of oldest tombstone: 1810
Date of newest tombstone: 1910
Perimeter length: 688 metres
 
Cemetery location: From the crossroads, turn left onto a dust road and follow this for 200m until you reach the cemetery.
