Wentworth Mausoleum, Gothic Revival mausoleum in Vaucluse, Australia
The Wentworth Mausoleum stands at 5 Chapel Road, featuring a Carrara marble neo-classical sarcophagus and black and white mosaic marble floor patterns.
Sarah Wentworth commissioned the mausoleum between 1872 and 1874 to house the remains of her husband William Charles Wentworth and their family members.
The structure represents the architectural preferences of early Australian colonial period, incorporating both constructed elements and natural rock formations into its design.
Sydney Living Museums organizes guided tours of the mausoleum, allowing visitors to explore the interior and learn about its historical significance.
The mausoleum sits upon a specific rock where William Charles Wentworth would frequently observe Sydney Harbour during his residence from 1827 to 1853.
