Reopalu cemetery
After Catherine II banned burials inside churches and towns, Paide bought a plot outside the town in 1774. The first person buried in the new Reopalu cemetery, on 9 September 1774, was a Lieutenant Helffreich. The cemetery grew in steps, in 1800, 1836, 1846 and finally in 1932. The chapel that stands today was built in 1909. Among the graves are those of prophet Maltsvet, Juhan Leinberg, and of Carl Hermann Hesse, the grandfather of the German writer Hermann Hesse. Jakob Livenström, one of the first Estonian photographers, also rests here, and there is a memorial stone for the clergyman and scholar August Wilhelm Hupel, whose grave is lost.

Pärast Katariina II keeldu matta surnuid kirikutesse ja linnadesse ostis Paide linn 1774. aastal maatüki linnast väljas. Esimesena maeti uuele Reopalu kalmistule 9. septembril 1774 leitnant Helffreich. Kalmistut laiendati järk-järgult 1800., 1836. ja 1846. aastal ning viimati 1932. aastal. Praegune kabel ehitati 1909. aastal. Siin on prohvet Maltsveti ehk Juhan Leinbergi ning saksa kirjaniku Hermann Hesse vanaisa, arst Carl Hermann Hesse haud. Siia on maetud ka üks esimesi eestlasest fotograafe Jakob Livenström. Baltisaksa literaadile August Wilhelm Hupelile, kelle hauakoht on teadmata, on püstitatud mälestuskivi.
