The oldest tombstone is from 1691. It belongs to the tradesman Žigmund Reinisch. The graves of Jakub Kray and Martin Lány, the executed Kežmarok participants of one of the anti-Habsburg uprisings, come from 1709. The tombstone of their fellow-fighter comrade Toporcer has not been preserved. Also dr. Vojtech Alexander and his family are buried here. The cemetery is included in the list of the landmarks of the Eastern Slovakia.

The historical cemetery of Kežmarok is situated near the New Evangelical Church. It was founded in1674, in the times of counter-reformation, when the Protestants had to be buried outside the town walls. It was gradually growing and from the end of the 18th century also the Catholics started to be buried on the left side of the cemetery, while the Protestants were on the right side. This tradition did not cease until the beginning of the 20th century.
