This is one of the oldest cemeteries in Lithuania of particular importance. The Rasu cemetery is divided into two parts: the Old Rasu cemetery, founded in 1796, in the middle of which there is a neo-Gothic chapel with a bell tower, and the New Rasu cemetery.
Famous Lithuanian writers are buried in the Rasu cemetery. Here you will see the place where the constructor of the first Lithuanian TV set was buried, as well as the father of Polish history, a doctor who began vaccination of the inhabitants of Vilnius against smallpox. The director who made the most popular Lithuanian film is also buried here.
Believe it or not, the cemetery is a very good place to take a walk and learn a lot.
