Halliste cemetery
German: Hallist
Halliste cemetery was founded in 1773, when the old burial ground around St Anne's church was closed. It has grown to 7.63 hectares and has two chapels, an old one and a new one. Many family plots are marked out with granite posts and chains. The local Baltic German nobility rest here, among them members of the Bock, Dehn, Oettingen, Stackelberg and Mühlen families. So do manor owners of Estonian origin, Andreas Palenberg and Peeter Widriks. The parents of Friedrich Akel, later State Elder of Estonia, are also buried here.

Halliste kalmistu rajati 1773. aastal, kui Halliste Püha Anna kiriku ümber olnud vana matmispaik suleti. Aja jooksul on kalmistu kasvanud 7,63 hektari suuruseks ja sellel on kaks kabelit, vana ja uus. Paljud hauaplatsid on eraldatud graniitpostide ja kettidega. Siia on maetud ümbruskonna aadlisuguvõsade liikmeid, nende seas Bockid, Dehnid, Oettingenid, Stackelbergid ja Mühlenid. Siin puhkavad ka eestlastest mõisaomanikud Andreas Palenberg ja Peeter Widriks. Kalmistule on maetud ka hilisema riigivanema Friedrich Akeli vanemad. Kalmistu on arvele võetud kultuurimälestisena.
