Mausoleum of Barclay de Tolly, Military memorial chapel and museum in Jõgeveste village, Estonia

The neoclassical mausoleum features ornamental details, articulated facades, and two sarcophagi within its crypt, designed by architect Apollon Štšedrin in 1823.

The mausoleum holds the remains of Field Marshal Michael Barclay de Tolly, a Russian military commander who led forces against Napoleon from 1812 to 1814.

The structure represents classical Estonian architecture and maintains both functions as a memorial chapel and an educational museum about military history.

Visitors can explore the mausoleum from Wednesday to Sunday between 10:00 AM and 5:00 PM, with cash payments accepted at the entrance.

The mausoleum complex includes a cemetery belonging to Jõgeveste Manor and contains a silver urn holding the heart of Barclay de Tolly.
