Protestant Cemetery, Vilnius

The old cemetery, used from 1550s, was located on land donated by the Radziwiłł family on Liejyklos Street.

[1] Before the old cemetery was closed a professor of Vilnius University made an inventory of interesting tombstones.

The list was acquired by Eustachy Tyszkiewicz and was stored in the Museum of Antiquities that he founded.

[3] The only remaining evidence of a cemetery is the Classical mausoleum for Jan Fryderyk Niszkowski, a prominent surgeon.

[4] The great chapel was also demolished and replaced by the Palace of Marriages (Lithuanian: Santuokų rūmai).
