Purdi manor cemetery

Purdi's manor cemetery saw its first burial in 1761, making it one of the earliest manor cemeteries in Estonia. It lies 1.4 kilometres west-north-west of the manor and covers a quarter of a hectare. From 1761 to 1818 the Baranoff family buried their dead here, and from 1825 to 1917 the Ungern-Sternbergs. Some 44 or 45 people rest here. More than half of them, 25 or 26, lie inside the chapel, and the rest in graves outside. The late baroque funeral chapel still stands, with plastered limestone walls and a sheet-metal roof curving in scroll-like volutes.

Eesti keeles

Purdi mõisa kalmistule maeti esimene lahkunu 1761. aastal, mistõttu on see üks esimesi mõisakalmistuid Eesti alal. Kalmistu asub mõisa südamest 1,4 kilomeetrit lääneloodes ja selle pindala on 0,25 hektarit. Aastatel 1761–1818 maeti siia Baranoffide ning aastatel 1825–1917 Ungern-Sternbergide suguvõsa liikmeid. Teadaolevalt puhkab siin 44 või 45 inimest. Neist 25 või 26 on maetud kabelisse ja ülejäänud 19 väljas asuvatesse haudadesse. Tänaseni on alles hilisbarokne matusekabel, millel on paekivist krohvitud seinad ja plekist voluutkatus.
