Memorial or cemetery
Kurista manor cemetery
Stephan Guillemot de Villebois, owner of Kurista manor, probably founded this small cemetery in 1834. That year two of his grown children died, his daughter Anna Eleonora and his son Alexander, and they became its first burials. He followed them in 1835. The cemetery lies about 500 metres west of the manor centre. On its southern edge a chapel served as the gateway, and today only its ruins stand. Parts of grave markers and sunken grave sites survive among the trees. How many people were buried here in all is not known.

Kurista mõisa omanik Stephan Guillemot de Villebois rajas selle kalmistu arvatavasti 1834. aastal. Sel aastal surid tema täiskasvanud lapsed, tütar Anna Eleonora ja poeg Alexander, kes said kalmistu esimesteks maetuteks. Isa ise suri järgmisel, 1835. aastal ja maeti samale kalmistule. Kalmistu asub mõisa südamest umbes 500 meetrit läänes. Selle lõunaservas paiknes väravaehitisena kabel, millest on praegu alles ainult varemed. Säilinud on hauatähiste osi ja sisselangenud hauakohti. Kui palju inimesi on kalmistule kokku maetud, pole teada.
