Velise manor cemetery to Maydell family

German: Felks

About 1.2 km west-north-west of Velise manor lies the small private cemetery of the Maydell family, who bought the estate from the Wetter-Rosenthals, probably late in the 19th century, and did not wish to use the former owners' burial ground. Only four people are known to lie here, among them Carl Anton von Maydell (1816–1885) and young Boris von Maydell, who died in 1913 aged 23; a neo-Gothic funeral chapel stands among them. The older Wetter-Rosenthal cemetery lies just 200 metres south, across the Velise river, but the bridge between them is gone.

Eesti keeles

Velise mõisa südamest umbes 1,2 km lääneloodes asub Maydellide väike erakalmistu. Maydellid ostsid mõisa Wetter-Rosenthalidelt arvatavasti 19. sajandi lõpus ega soovinud kasutada endiste omanike matmispaika. Teadaolevalt on siia maetud vaid neli inimest, nende seas Carl Anton von Maydell (1816–1885) ja noor Boris von Maydell, kes suri 1913. aastal 23-aastasena; nende keskel seisab uusgooti matusekabel. Vanem Wetter-Rosenthalide kalmistu jääb vaid 200 meetrit lõuna poole üle Velise jõe, kuid nende vaheline sild on hävinud.
