Does the Voldaren Castle have a cemetery?

My lore knowledge on Innistrad if pretty shallow. I saw the cards Cemetery Gatekeeper and Cemetery Protector, and was wondering if the cemetery they're at is part of the Voldaren estate.
Olivia seems pretty smart, so I'd bet that she just invested in nearby cemeteries. Throwing a party for your vampire friends/family and expecting a spike in local demise? Might as well sink your fangs into the back end. I'd also fully expect her to have a major stake in local mortuaries. Selling one coffin to a villager is money, but raising the undead and then selling them a second coffin, yep, that's the vertical integration of an undead businesswoman's dark dreams.

Omniscience_is_life Protector isn't but Gatekeeper is.
Niko9 that is sort of my thought too. Not so much on the business side, but more on the "maintaining a large cemetery is a lot of work" side. It seems like this job is not one that a peasantry populace can probably do. I doubt Olivia (or any vampire lord) would want the dead to be just dumped into the woods, especially with the amount of zombies there are on this plane.
I imagine the Gatekeeper and Protector also have the task of keeping the dead in the cemetery.

Epidilius note how I didn’t mention the Gatekeeper. It’s entirely possible that the vampire is an employee of other vampires, which is why I didn’t refute that one, but the Protector seems like she’s from another cemetery entirely. That’s all :)

Considering the Protector isn't a vampire, I doubt she would be employed as a guard by the Voldarens. My guess is that Innastrad just has a lot of cemeteries -\__(: /)_/-
