The Southern Gate of the Old Cemetery II of Kretinga Parish

The southern neo-baroque cemetery gate with a height of 9.9 m and a width of 4.4 m, slightly higher than the northern one, as well as the 110 m long cemetery fence, are also the work of architect J. Padlevskis. They are recorded in the Book of Outstanding Achievements of Lithuania as the highest cemetery gates in Lithuania. The fence covered with a gabled roof of red bricks and broken stones is considered the most ornate cemetery fence in Lithuania, and the Latin inscription 1913/DEUS SPES NOSTRA (1913 / God is our hope) on the upper part of this gate expresses the hope of the people buried here to rise to eternal life after death.
