Mausoleum of Charlottenburg Park, Neoclassical mausoleum in Charlottenburg Palace Gardens, Germany.

The Charlottenburg Park mausoleum presents a temple structure with red granite columns, holding marble sarcophagi of Prussian royalty within its grand chamber.

Heinrich Gentz designed the mausoleum in 1810 following Queen Luise's death, with Karl Friedrich Schinkel later expanding it to accommodate Frederick William III's remains.

The memorial features Christian Daniel Rauch's marble sculpture of Queen Luise, representing German neoclassical art of the nineteenth century.

The mausoleum opens from April through October, Tuesday to Sunday, between 10:00 and 17:30, with entrance fees of 3 euros for adults.

A private crypt beneath the main chamber contains additional royal burials, including Frederick William IV's heart, while his body rests in Potsdam.
