Pitkäniemen hautausmaa, Historic cemetery in Nokia, Finland

The cemetery spans 2000 square meters and features 37 grave markers, with the majority situated along the northern boundary of the grounds.

Between 1902 and 1964, the cemetery became the final resting place for 426 patients who passed away at the adjacent Pitkäniemen hospital.

The cemetery served as a burial ground for patients from the hospital's criminal ward and those under municipal guardianship without living relatives.

The grounds receive maintenance through regular grass mowing during summer months, with a thorough cleaning operation conducted in 2005.

During World War II years 1939-1944, the cemetery accepted patients from ceded territories, with many burials occurring at night in row graves.
