Склеп Александра Бекмана, Historic burial vault at Smolensky Lutheran Cemetery, Saint Petersburg, Russia.
The neoclassical structure features an open pavilion design with stone columns supporting a domed roof above the burial chamber beneath.
General Alexander von Beckmann's burial vault, constructed in 1883, represents a significant example of late 19th-century funerary architecture in Saint Petersburg.
The burial vault gained renewed recognition after appearing in Alexei Balabanov's 1997 film 'Brother', where it was referred to as 'German's Gazebo'.
Saint Petersburg State University students have obtained permission to restore the vault and are currently collecting funds for the renovation project.
The burial vault combines German Lutheran traditions with Russian architectural elements, reflecting the multicultural heritage of Saint Petersburg's historical cemeteries.
