Rożnów Pyramid, Pyramidal tomb in Rożnów, Poland.

The stone and brick pyramid reaches 8.5 meters in height, featuring a rectangular entrance with wrought iron decorations and coat-of-arms reliefs on its roof.

Carl Gotthard Langhans, the architect of Berlin's Brandenburg Gate, designed this family tomb in 1780 for General Carl Adolf August von Eben und Brunnen.

The pyramid reflects the Egyptian Revival movement of the 18th century, incorporating ancient burial practices with strategic ventilation windows for preservation purposes.

Located beside a wooden church of Saints Peter and Paul, this monument remains closed to public access but can be viewed from the exterior.

Between 1780 and 1830, twenty-eight members of noble families were interred within this pyramid, making it one of Poland's distinctive aristocratic burial sites.
