Rõuge old cemetery
German: Rauge
Rõuge old cemetery in Tindi village was consecrated in 1848 and covers 3.5 hectares. Two graves here are listed as cultural monuments in their own right. One is a common grave of those killed in the Second World War. The other belongs to organ builder Tannil Kriisa, who died in 1940. Born on a farm in Haanja, he built his first organ pipe at the age of twelve. With his brothers Jakob and Juhan he founded the firm of the Kriisa Brothers, whose first church organ was finished for Misso in 1886. The brothers built church organs together until the early 1930s, after which Tannil and his four sons carried on the work.

Rõuge vana kalmistu Tindi külas pühitseti 1848. aastal ja selle pindala on 3,5 hektarit. Kaks siinset hauda on arvele võetud eraldi kultuurimälestistena. Üks neist on II maailmasõjas hukkunute ühishaud. Teine on 1940. aastal surnud orelimeister Tannil Kriisa haud. Haanja vallas Kokemäe külas sündinud Tannil ehitas esimese orelivile juba 12-aastaselt. Koos vendade Jakobi ja Juhaniga asutas ta firma "Orelimeistrid vennad Kriisad", mille esimene kirikuorel valmis 1886. aastal Misso kogudusele. Kolme venna ühistööna valmisid orelid kuni 1930. aastate alguseni, seejärel jätkasid tööd Tannil ja tema neli poega.
