About this cemetery
Mārtiņa kapi was established in 1773 and was first known as the Āgenskalns cemetery or St John's cemetery, as it was under the care of the Old Riga St John's parish. It is one of the oldest cemeteries in Riga. After the Martin's Lutheran church was built in 1852, the cemetery was transferred to that congregation. It now incorporates the former Āgenskalns free cemetery and the St John's church cemetery.
