Enlarged in 1867, a small funerary chapel was built in 1910 on the cemetery ground.

[1] Before the Edict of Nantes granted Protestants some religious tolerance and rights to worship freely, Protestants had to bury their dead clandestinely on private property, farm land or cellars.

The current cemetery on rue Judaïque covers an area of 1.5 hectares, containing approximately 1,300 plots.

A monumental gate was designed by the architect Armand Corcelles who also built the Chartrons Reformed Church on rue Notre-Dame in Bordeaux.

The burial ground reflects the diverse and multicultural character of Bordeaux with tombs belonging to the deceased Reformed Calvinists, Lutherans, Anglicans of various nationalities.
