Tuhala kalmistu

Tuhala cemetery, first called Kata cemetery, was in use by September 1774 at the latest and has grown both south and north since then. Its older parts are enclosed by fieldstone walls, with a gate chapel of 1864 in the north wall and a late-18th-century family burial chapel inside. Much older traces lie within its bounds too: in the south-west corner is a stone grave from the first half of the first millennium AD, and in the east a cup-marked stone, both protected as monuments in their own right.

Eesti keeles

Tuhala kalmistule, mida algul kutsuti Kata kalmistuks, maeti hiljemalt 1774. aasta septembris ning seda on hiljem laiendatud nii lõuna kui ka põhja poole. Vanemaid osi ümbritseb maakivimüür, mille põhjaküljes on 1864. aasta väravakabel, ja sees asub 18. sajandi lõpu perekonnakabel. Kalmistu piirides on ka palju vanemaid jälgi: edelaosas on esimese aastatuhande esimesest poolest pärit kivikalme ja idaosas lohukivi, mõlemad omaette muinsuskaitse all.
