Helenen-Paulownen-Mausoleum, Neoclassical mausoleum in Ludwigslust, Germany.

The Helenen-Paulownen-Mausoleum features a forecourt with four columns and gold lettering above the mahogany entrance door adorned with bronze decorations.

Built between 1804 and 1806 under architect Joseph Ramée's design, the mausoleum cost over 30,000 Reichstaler and contains marble sarcophagi for Elena Pavlovna and Friedrich Ludwig.

The structure represents the connection between Russian and German nobility through the marriage of Elena Pavlovna, daughter of Tsar Paul I, to Crown Prince Friedrich Ludwig.

Located at coordinates 53.3237°N and 11.4828°E in Schlosspark Ludwigslust, the mausoleum underwent extensive renovation works starting in 2003.

The mausoleum served as the final resting place for twelve members of the grand ducal house of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, with the last burial occurring in 1922.
