Kloostrimetsa Cemetery
The wooded setting of Kloostrimetsa Cemetery links Pirita’s burial grounds with the changing edge of Tallinn.
Woodland, roads, settlement and cemeteries from different periods meet around Pirita and Kloostrimetsa. Here the graves do not appear as one dense row of stone: trees and open spaces shape the way visitors encounter remembrance. The name may bring nearby Pirita Convent to mind, but a place name alone cannot make every grave a relic of the convent era. Establishing a historical connection requires cemetery records and older maps of the district. Today this remains, above all, a place where people come to remember.
