Raikküla manor cemetery

Alexander von Keyserling, owner of Raikküla manor, founded this small cemetery in 1874, when his daughter Marie died young. It lies about 1.2 kilometres west-north-west of the manor. An avenue led to it from the road, lined with spiraea bushes that have since disappeared. Only four people were ever buried here: Marie in 1874, Zenaida von Keyserling in 1885, Alexander himself in 1891 and Leo von Keyserling. For decades the cemetery lay abandoned and was looted. In the 2010s people began clearing away the brush and tidying the graves.

Eesti keeles

Raikküla mõisa omanik Alexander von Keyserling rajas selle väikese kalmistu 1874. aastal, kui noorelt suri tema tütar Marie. Kalmistu asub mõisa südamest umbes 1,2 kilomeetrit lääneloodes. Sõiduteelt viis sinna allee, mille äärde istutati enelaid. Need on tänaseks hävinud. Kalmistule on maetud kõigest neli inimest: Marie 1874. aastal, Zenaida von Keyserling 1885. aastal, Alexander ise 1891. aastal ning Leo von Keyserling. Pikka aega oli kalmistu maha jäetud ja rüüstatud. 2010. aastatel hakati seda võsast puhastama ja korrastama.
