History

The cemetery was created by the Lutheran community in 1793. The Neo-Gothic cemetery chapel was built in 1868. The cemetery got its name from the former Gate of the Goats, which was one of the gates of the palisade that protected the Castle Hill from the north. Goats were driven out to graze on the nearby hills through that gate.

Two martyrs of the Hungarian Revolution and War of Independence between 1848 and 1849 rest in the cemetery: the Lutheran pastor Rázga Pál and Baron Jeszenák János, ispán of Nyitra, who led the fights against the pro-Habsburg Slovak insurgents.
