Memorial or cemetery
Tumala manor cemetery
German: Thomel
The Stackelbergs, owners of Tumala manor on Saaremaa, probably founded this cemetery around 1833, the year of the first burial. About 15 people were buried here in all. It lies some 500 metres north-north-east of the former manor centre. Its finest feature is a classicist funeral chapel, probably built in 1846 and decorated with carved dolomite details. Today the cemetery is abandoned and looted, though grave markers and their parts survive. The chapel stands in ruins, but it has been given a temporary roof to protect what is left.

Tumala mõisa omanikud Stackelbergid rajasid selle kalmistu Saaremaal arvatavasti 1833. aasta paiku, kui toimus esimene matus. Kokku on siia maetud umbes 15 lahkunut. Kalmistu asub kunagisest mõisa südamest umbes 500 meetrit põhjakirdes. Kõige silmapaistvam ehitis on klassitsistlik matusekabel, mis rajati arvatavasti 1846. aastal ja mida kaunistasid dolomiidist raiddetailid. Praegu on kalmistu maha jäetud ja rüüstatud, kuid hauatähiseid ja nende osi on säilinud. Kabel on varemetes, kuid selle kaitseks on paigaldatud ajutine katus.
