(Russian: Алексей Петрович фон Врангель барон Люденгоф)

Writer. Son of a famous Russian Military Figure.

In February 2012 Kildare Library and Arts Service, received a query about an unusual name on a headstone at Christ Church, the little church inside the gates at Castletown House, Celbridge – Whengle or Wrengle. So began a search of the archives which led to this interesting tale. It was discovered that it was in fact the grave of Baron Alexis Wrangel, the son of the famous Russian White Army leader, Baron Pyotr Nikolayevich Wrangel, who fought the communists during the Russian Civil War!

On June 1 2005 the New York Times carried an obituary for Baron Alexis Wrangel, who was buried in the Conolly-Carew family plot in Castletown House, Celbridge:

WRANGEL – Baron Alexis, 83, of Tara, County Meath, Ireland, died peacefully on May 27, 2005 after a lengthy illness. He is survived by his wife Diana and his sister Nathalie Basilevsky as well as an extended family. Baron Wrangel was a diplomat, author, equestrian and former U.S. Air Force Officer who was a son of General Baron Peter N. Wrangel, the last Commander in Chief of the White Russian Army during the Russian Civil War. A funeral service will be held on Friday, June 3, 2005 at St. Colmans Russian Orthodox Church, Stradbally, County Leix, Ireland. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in his name to: The Tolstoy Foundation, 104 Lake Road, Valley Cottage, New York, 10989.

The funeral service was held on Friday, 3 June 2005, at St. Colman of Oughaval Russian Orthodox Church in Stradbally, Co. Laois. Father Peter Baulk conducted the service assisted by members of the Russian Orthodox Church in Dublin. It was in strict accordance with the rites of the Russian Orthodox Church and was attended by a large congregation, more than a hundred people. The hearse was escorted along the route from St. Colman to Celbridge under the watchful eye of the Gardaí who took it in turn to see a trouble free journey. Baron Wrangel was laid to rest in the Conolly-Carew family burial plot in Celbridge Church, which is the parish church of Baroness Wrangel’s family home, Castletown House. A bugle was not sounded on that day and no salvo echoed over the grave. The family and close friends enjoyed a pleasant lunch for the wake afterwards in the Setanta Hotel, which was built as a charity school for girls by the Lord Conolly-Carew in the nineteenth century. The family toasted the memory of the Baron Wrangel with his favourite drink, champagne.

In 1985 Baron Alexis Wrangel married Hon. Diana Sylvia Conolly-Carew, daughter of William Francis Conolly-Carew, 6th Baron Carew and Lady Sylvia Gwendoline Eva Maitland. Alexis Wrangel was the son of Baron Pyotr Nikolayevich Wrangel, who was born in Mukuliai, Kovno Governorate in the Russian Empire (near present-day Zarasai), Lithuania. The Wrangel family was of the local Baltic German nobility, and Pyotr Nikolayevich was distantly related to the famed Arctic explorer Ferdinand von Wrangel.
