Württemberg Mausoleum, Neoclassical mausoleum in Untertürkheim, Germany

The Württemberg Mausoleum stands atop the Rotenberg hill, featuring four identical porticos surrounding a central cylindrical structure crowned with a dome and skylight.

King William I commissioned the mausoleum in 1820 following the death of his second wife Catherine Pavlovna, replacing the original Württemberg castle on the site.

The interior contains marble statues of the Four Evangelists in wall niches and continues to host Russian Orthodox services during Pentecost since 1825.

The mausoleum opens for visitors from April 1st to November 30th, managed by the State Palaces and Gardens of Baden-Württemberg administration.

The double sarcophagus in the crypt, crafted from Carrara marble, holds the remains of King William I and Queen Catherine alongside their daughter Maria.
