Viru-Jaagupi Cemetery
Viru-Jaagupi cemetery at Kannastiku has been in use since the 18th century, and its gate, completed in 1923, was designed by the painter Kristjan Raud, the illustrator of 'Kalevipoeg'. Here lies Ferdinand von Wrangel (1797–1870), Russian admiral, polar explorer and travel writer, after whom Wrangel Island in the Arctic is named. The cemetery is also home to the parish's War of Independence memorial. Burial registers have survived from 1907 onward.

Kannastiku külas asuvasse Viru-Jaagupi kalmistule on maetud 18. sajandist alates ning selle 1923. aastal valminud värava kavandas „Kalevipoja” illustreerija, kunstnik Kristjan Raud. Siin puhkab Vene admiral, polaaruurija ja reisikirjanik Ferdinand von Wrangel (1797–1870), kelle järgi on nime saanud Wrangeli saar Põhja-Jäämeres. Kalmistul asub ka kihelkonna Vabadussõja mälestussammas. Matmisraamatud on säilinud alates 1907. aastast.
