Old graveyard |

Burial ground existed in the churchyard ever since the St. Andrew´s Church was built. It had originally served the parish which included villages of Kolovraty and Nedvězí and later on also the village of Tehovice, which formally belonged to the Uhříněves parish but was geographically cl oser to Kolovraty. In 1767 during the Baroque renovation of the church, the graveyard was extended. In 1926 a new cemetery „At Saint Donatus´" was opened. Burials ceased at the old burial ground and the owners of the graves were asked to move their family tombs with the remains of their dead to the new cemetery.
