Louisen-Mausoleum, Royal mausoleum in Ludwigslust, Germany.
The rectangular mausoleum features sandstone lions at its entrance steps, Egyptian sphinxes in high relief, and golden Latin cross on the pediment.
Duke Friedrich Franz I commissioned the neoclassical mausoleum between 1809 and 1810 to honor his wife Duchess Louise, who died unexpectedly in 1808.
The structure combines classical architectural elements with Egyptian design motifs, representing early 19th-century German funerary architecture in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
The mausoleum stands within the 127-hectare Ludwigslust Palace Park, which remains open to visitors throughout the year.
The inscription 'LOUISEN' appears in golden letters above the iron gate entrance, marking the final resting place of multiple Mecklenburg-Schwerin dynasty members.
