Metsakalmistu

[2] In 1939, the nearby Kloostrimetsa Farm cemetery was created, which eventually, through expansion, became part of an expanded Metsakalmistu.

Initially, there was placement of crosses, girders, ranks, and calcareous stones, the largest size of which were 80 × 50 cm.

Subsequently, the use of natural barriers, such as grass slabs, were built and have been extended to include a moss bed cover, along with borders marked by flowers.

The chapel was vandalized by the Soviet Union after the establishment of the Estonian SSR, but in 1996, it was restored with the support of the Tallinn City Government.

Tombstones in Metsakalmistu are reserved for notable Estonian people involved in, among other professions, theatre, sports, composing, writing, the arts, journalism, medicine, architecture, and science, as well as other public figures; those who were soldiers in the Finnish Infantry Regiment 200, as well as the veterans of the Estonian War of Independence, are also buried here.
