- The cemetery is a one big jigsaw, where pieces have been thrown in the air and let them remain, where ever they land. There's graves overlapping each others, crosses side by side, so close to each others, that there possible couldn't have been enough land to bury two people. The cemetery isn't in use anymore, so during the many upheavals that Talinn has gone through, the graves have been mixed and most likely, the exact places cannot be pointed out anymore.

- The ruins of the church and that's about it as there's not much more left. The yard does contain few foundations from the living quarters for the nuns and for the priests which were men.
