Vormsi Cemetery
German: Worms
Beside St Olaf's church on the island of Vormsi lies one of Estonia's most striking graveyards. Its older part is filled with wheel crosses of limestone and sandstone, ring-headed stone crosses, more than 330 of them in all, leaning in the grass among the newer graves. Among those buried here is Hans Pöhl, an Estonian Swede who became a politician in the Republic of Estonia.

Vormsi saarel Püha Olavi kiriku kõrval asub üks Eesti silmapaistvamaid kalmistuid. Selle vanem osa on täis paekivist ja liivakivist rõngasriste – rõngaspeaga kiviriste, kokku üle 330, mis seisavad muru sees uuemate haudade vahel. Siia on maetud ka Hans Pöhl, rannarootslane, kellest sai Eesti Vabariigi poliitik.
