The Mausoleum is an imposing memorial to the history of Castle Douglas and a fine example of early nineteenth century funerary architecture. It contains the remains of 25 members of the Douglas family, beginning with Sir William - the founder of Castle Douglas, who died in 1821. The last member was interred in 1965 (George Douglas from New York). The Mausoleum became an A listed building in 1971 and members of the Community Council are dedicated to preserving this historic structure.
