Memorial or cemetery
Kukruse manor cemetery
German: Kuckers
The Toll family, owners of Kukruse manor, laid out this family cemetery in the woods about a kilometre south-west of the manor. It may date from soon after they bought the estate in 1762, which would make it one of the first manor cemeteries in Estonia. Christoffer Friedrich von Toll was buried here in 1767. Other records place the first burial only in 1827. Around 16 people are thought to rest here. The chapel has vanished. The most striking feature is a memorial stone raised in 1908 for polar explorer Eduard von Toll, who disappeared in the East Siberian Sea in 1902. His cousin Hermann Georg von Toll, then owner of Kukruse, had it set up.

Kukruse mõisa omanikud Tollid rajasid selle perekonnakalmistu metsa, mõisast umbes 1,1 kilomeetrit edelasse. See võib pärineda ajast pärast mõisa ostmist 1762. aastal, mis teeks sellest ühe esimese mõisakalmistu Eestis. 1767. aastal maeti siia Christoffer Friedrich von Toll. Teiste andmete järgi toimus esimene matus alles 1827. aastal. Kalmistule on maetud arvatavasti 16 lahkunut. Kabel on tänaseks hävinud. Kõige erilisem on 1908. aastal püstitatud mälestuskivi polaaruurijale Eduard von Tollile, kes jäi 1902. aastal kadunuks Ida-Siberi meres. Kivi lasi püstitada tema lellepoeg, Kukruse mõisa omanik Hermann Georg von Toll.
