It is listed in the Supplementary Inventory of Historic Monuments and preserves numerous graves typical of the 19th century, with wrought-iron crosses and carved steles. At its center stands a monumental cross bearing the year 1673.
The synagogue of Villé was built in 1904 at Place de la Liberté for the city’s Jewish community at the time. It was restored and rededicated on November 6, 1955.
