[LV]Netalu no Dunalkas atrodas Dunalkas baronu kapenes. Ar Kulturas
Ministrijas 29.10.1998 rikojumu Nr.128, tas ir ieklautas Valsts
aizsargajamo kulturas piemineklu saraksta. Ieverojamakais kapenem:
piramidas idejas tiešs iemiesojums Latvija. Tam ir istas
piramidas forma, kuras priekša pievienots monumentalais
portals ar divam nišam un frontonu. Portals ir klasicisma
stila, bet kaplicas iekšpuse visai romantiska. Piramida
partop cilindriska telpa, kuras biezajos muros tris rindas likts pa
14 radialam nišam zarku novietošanai. Telpiska iecere
ir baiga un fascinejoša. Kritiska stavokli atrodas Dunalkas
baronu kaplica, kurai pašreiz netiek izmantota un
apsaimniekota, jo ekai nav sakartotas ipašuma tiesibas.
Tomer neskatoties uz to, ka kapenes ir katastrofala stavokli, tas
ir verts apskatit. Netalu no tam ir izveidots stends, kura sikak
aprakstits par kapenem un ir redzama fotografija, kas lauj saprast,
cik tas ir bijušas diženas. Nav nekadu zinu, kas un kad
noticis ar nišas novietotajiem zarkiem. Vieniga informacija,
ko izdevas atrast ir 1937. gada 27.junija ‘’Kurzemes
varda’’ publicets raksts ‘’Necienigs
‘’varondarbs’’’’.”.....Janos
daži iereibuši jaunieši kaplica
pastradajuši necienigu
‘’varondarbu’’. Vini uzlauzuši
kaplicas durvis, sadauzijuši vairakas nišas
novietotus zarkus un kada niša pat no zarka atliekam
sakuruši uguni, sadedzinadami zarku ar tani esošo
gindeni.’’
Nemot vera, ka ši celtne ir Latvija unikala, papetijam
tuvak, kas tad tie ir bijuši par ieverojamiem baroniem,
kuriem gribejies sev uzcelt tik greznu kaplicu. Dunalku1708.gada

Slepnis ir neliela plastmasas kastite ar logbooku un zimuli,
dažiem sikumiem mainai.
Nemot vera kapenu stavokli, slepnis nav izvietots iekšpuse.
Lugums neparkramet visus iespejamos kiegelus, citadi katram
nakamajam bus mazak ko redzet. Atrodiet vispirms hintu. Vai iet
iekša, vai neiet, ta ir katra personiga darišana, cik
kuram gribas risket list gruvešos.
[ENG] Mausoleum of Dunalka Manor. The most sign ficant example of
pyramidal influences in Latvian architecture was the mausoleum of
Dunalka manor (early 19th century).It was built reflecting the
autentic from of pyramids with a monumental portal featunng two
niches and pediment. The portal was an element of Classicism, while
the inerior is Romantic. From the inside, the pyramid was gradually
transformed in a cylinder-shaped room and its thick walls
accommodated three of radial niches (14 in each row) for sarcophag.
The spatial idea was ternfying and fascinating, as an observer in
the middle of the mausoleum room was penetrated by unavoilable
radation of the demanding and awaiting niches. The empty niches
were supposed to have an even greater negative influence on the
living members of the family as they served as a reminder of the
mortality of the current and yet unborn generations and their doom
to return in this last resting place. As fot today only the ruins
of the mausoleum have survived, however, its spatial cimposition,
facade, finish and ornamental elements reflect its original form
and artistic solutions.
Cache is a small plastic box with log book and pencil and also with
some small things for exchange. Cache is outside.
