Waldau Cemetery was established in 1854, with a Lutheran church being added to the site later, and completed in 1858. The site contains 125 burials - 80 children and 45 adults. In 1888, the cemetery was closed to new burials, due to increased seepage into the nearby Ruffey Creek. The original church building fell into disrepair, and was replaced in 1892 with the current brick church. During both World Wars, anti-German sentiment caused the destruction of many of the headstones. The Doncaster and Templestowe Historical Society have since placed new markers on all of the unmarked graves. The cemetery is located in the grounds of Schramm's Cottage Museum, which was relocated to its current site in the 1970s, and is covered in pine trees.
