 | | Beginning in 1869, Culemborg Jews were buried in a separate section of the town's public cemetery, located on the Achterweg, as well as in a private Jewish cemetery on the Parkweg in the nearby village of Beesd, which also boasted its own synagogue. |
 | | The Culemborg community also boasted a theater and debating club, a social and recrecreational club, and, beginning in the nineteenth century, a chapter of the Alliance Israélite Universelle. |
 | | In 1858, Culemborg community's Jewish school was certified by the government as a school for the poor and thus instituted instruction in secular subjects. |
