The aim of this text is a view of the widowhood of Caroline Collalto née Apponyi through the optics of her received correspondence and preserved documents. The attention is paid to her economic life and stability during widowhood, her social connections and activities influenced by the inherited mental illness. It also describes her childhood and the years of her marriage which influenced her later widowhood, on the other hand only marginal attention is paid to the aristocratic rituals or to the political situation during her life. Her case is an example of how the aristocratic widowhood in the second half of the 19th century could look like.
