Kropotkin's family cemetery in Sigulda was established at the end of the 18th century in a beautiful place with a view on Gauja valley and Turaida castle towers.

It is known that Olga Kropotkina, born as von der Borch and the mother of Prince Nikolai Kropotkin, was buried here in year 1898. To honour her memory, a memorial plaque with moulding has been installed in the Sigulda Lutheran Church. Today, this plaque is stored at Turaida Museum Reserve.

Sister of Prince Nikolai Kropotkin - Aleksandra Sarina, born as Kropotkina, was buried in the family cemetery before the World War I.
