Historically, the city of Uzhgorod was formed and developed around the castle that originated on Castle Hill, here were the first burial of deceased citizens. Eminent owners of the castle were buried in the crypt of the castle church. Cemetery same for most citizens were on the left side of the Small Uzh on present street Dobrianskyi. Then it was called - Cemetery. But the flood of 1672 destroyed most of this street. We can assume that flooding was the cause of a new arrangement of the cemetery on a hill, namely on the mountain around.
