During the second half of the 19th century, in the area next to the chapel of St. Holy Spirit, the city of Koprivnica arranged the central city cemetery, which has this function to this day. The cemetery was expanded in 1869, but at the same time it was not decorated. City gardener Dragutin Ruhl started landscaping the cemetery in the 1890s, and the city gravedigger Ivan Maček gave it its current horticultural appearance.
