Old St. John's Cemetery
Old St. John's Cemetery (Estonian: Vana-Jaani kalmistu) lies in the southeastern part of Raadi Cemetery in Tartu, Estonia. It was entered into the National Register of Cultural Monuments on 23 May 1997.Following a ukase of Russian Empress Catherine II forbidding burials in churches, Old St. John's Cemetery was founded in 1773 under the ownership of St. John's Church, and formally opened on 5 November that year. It served as the burial location for St. John's German and Estonian congregations and the Tartu Russian church. However, its name dates to the foundation of New St. John's Cemetery on Puiestee Street.There are several buildings of historical value in the cemetery: the family chapel of Mayor Jacob Friedrich Teller, the Rauch-Seidlitz chapel, and the Carl Klein chapel.
