Memorial or cemetery
Keila-Joa manor cemetery
German: Fall-Schloß
The Benckendorff family, owners of Keila-Joa manor, opened this private cemetery in 1844, when Alexander von Benckendorff died. It lies about 900 metres west of the manor house. His wife Jelizaveta followed in 1857. Later their descendants of the Volkonsky princely family were buried here too: daughter Maria Volkonskaya, her son Pyotr and her grandson Grigori, the last burial in 1940. Paul von Benckendorff was laid here in 1921. Only about ten people rest in the cemetery. The burial chapel was built some time after the cemetery itself. Both the cemetery and the chapel have been protected monuments since 1997.

Keila-Joa mõisa omanikud Benckendorffid rajasid selle kalmistu 1844. aastal, kui suri Alexander von Benckendorff. Kalmistu asub mõisa südamest umbes 900 meetrit läänes. 1857. aastal maeti siia tema abikaasa Jelizaveta. Hiljem on siia maetud ka nende järeltulijaid Volkonskite vürstisuguvõsast: tütar Maria Volkonskaja, tema poeg Pjotr ja pojapoeg Grigori, kelle matus 1940. aastal jäi viimaseks. 1921. aastal maeti siia Paul von Benckendorff. Kalmistul puhkab teadaolevalt kümme inimest. Kabel ehitati kalmistu rajamisest hiljem. Nii kalmistu kui kabel on riiklikud kultuurimälestised alates 1997. aastast.
