Jewish cemetery (kirkut) in the city of Kosiv was founded in 1742. For its construction, the Jewish community of the city received a plot of land next to the City Hill behind the modern house No. 42 on Nezalezhnosti Street.
The Kosiv kirkut has survived to this day. There are several hundred matzevah tombstones on an area of over 1 hectare. The most interesting are the matzevot of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and the burials of Hasidic tzaddikim. The matzevot of the Kosiv kirkut are among the most interesting in Eastern Europe. They are extremely valuable monuments of Sepulchral Jewish art.
