Vvedenskoye Cemetery
Vvedenskoye Cemetery, Historic cemetery in Lefortovo District, Russia
The cemetery spreads across 20 hectares of land, featuring mature trees, traditional monuments, and various styles of burial structures from different time periods.
Established in 1771 under Catherine the Great's edict, the cemetery served initially as a burial ground for Catholic and Protestant communities, particularly ethnic Germans.
The cemetery holds many monuments dedicated to military personnel, including a memorial obelisk erected by the French government in 1889 for soldiers from 1812.
The cemetery maintains active burial services, with family plots dating to the early 19th century, and provides detailed information about grave locations through its office.
French soldiers who died during Napoleon's invasion of Russia received dedicated burial spaces, marked by specific memorial structures within the cemetery grounds.
