About this cemetery
Bernardine Cemetery lies in the Užupis district of Vilnius on the right bank of the Vilnia and covers 3.6 hectares. It was established in 1810, when cemeteries in Vilnius were being closed and moved outside the city, replacing the older Bernardine burial grounds that had operated between the Bernardine churches from the 15th to the 18th century. Most of its grave monuments are made of stone.
