Cirksena mausoleum in Aurich, Neoclassical mausoleum in Aurich, Germany.

The decagonal mausoleum features a domed vault and stands prominently in the municipal cemetery of Aurich, housing ornate sarcophagi of nobility.

Built in 1875, the mausoleum became the new resting place for East Frisian counts and countesses after their remains were moved from the Lambertikirche vault.

The structure preserves the memory of the Cirksena family through architectural elements that reflect German building traditions of the nineteenth century.

Located at Adolf-Dunkmann-Strasse 9a, the mausoleum opens to visitors who can examine the burial chambers and learn about East Frisian noble heritage.

In 1880, the coffins were transported to their new location during a ceremonial nighttime procession through the streets of Aurich.
