The article is the first-hand publication of the manuscript by the Latvian architect and architecture historian Paul Campe (1885-1960). The material was donated to the Institute of Art History of the Latvian Academy of Art by the Baltic-German publisher Harro von Hirschheydt; the current publication is translated from German and introduced by Elita Grosmane. The manuscript is richly illustrated, containing photographs, sketches, drawings and plans of burial sites of landed gentry in Vidzeme and Kurzeme regions of Latvia; many of them have not survived till the present. Campe focuses on architectural solutions and decorations of these memorial buildings as well as the families and possible architects and artists involved.
