history
The Perchtoldsdorf cemetery was initially located around the parish church and was moved to the courtyard of Perchtoldsdorf Castle around 1586/1587 due to lack of space . The evangelical residents of Perchtoldsdorf were assigned a burial place in the so-called “butcher's garden” next to the castle.
The current cemetery was opened on November 1, 1877, the older one closed in 1883. The cemetery has been expanded several times since then. In 1930 Karl Harberger built the funeral hall. It was canceled in 1977. A new cemetery chapel was built from 1976 to 1977. In 1995 Perchtoldsdorf received an honorary award for exemplary cemetery design at the Lower Austria flower decoration competition.
