Pyramide Garzau, Stone pyramid in Garzau-Garzin, Germany.

The pyramid stands 13.80 meters tall with a square base, constructed entirely from uncut fieldstones and topped with an octagonal dome.

Count Friedrich Wilhelm Carl von Schmettau constructed this pyramid in 1784 as part of his extensive landscape garden project initiated in 1779.

The structure features a reconstructed sandstone portal with Doric elements, including triglyphs and metopes that reference classical Greek architectural traditions.

Access to the pyramid exterior is possible throughout the year, while special guided tours and concerts occur inside during scheduled events.

Three underground entrances on the northern side lead to vaulted chambers beneath the structure, with the central passage connecting to a mysterious vault.
