Cemetery like a cemetery still. Pretty nice.
Very beautiful
Beds are hard, cushions uncomfortable, the view was monotonous, no electricity, no wifi, and poor service.
Those who died in World War II are buried in a separate section at Kudjape Cemetery. The cemetery itself was built in 1780. The old part of the cemetery has many cryptic tombs, peculiar tombstones and quite a few chapels. For example, the famous physician, cultural figure and writer Johann Wilhelm Ludwig von Luce, the early collector of folklore Jean Baptiste Holzmayer, the lithographer Friedrich Sigmund Stern who recorded the places on the island, as well as Martin Körber and Joosep Aavik are buried here.

This cemetery is a burial place of German troops, where more than 700 soldiers were buried, the reopening of the cemetery took place in 1996. The restoration of the cemetery was carried out by the German national society for the restoration of military graves. The cemetery was put in order by youth camps in 1991-1997, Estonian and German youth worked side by side in the camps. It was decided to rebury in this cemetery the ashes of people buried in other small cemeteries located throughout Saaremaa. According to word of mouth, when the Soviet regime again came to Saaremaa in 1944, the military cemetery in Kuyap was ordered to be razed to the ground. Not far from the cemetery, in the western direction, there is a rather large Soviet cemetery, which today has been remodeled and rebuilt several times, the cemetery is monitored and put in order. A little more than a fifth of the graves of the former military German cemetery were destroyed in the 1970th year. The burial place of 155 Soviet military soldiers and officers received a modern look in 1986 (sculptor Ants Mölder, architect Ants Kylly).
