Mausoleum Büchenberg, Royal mausoleum in Detmold, Germany
The Mausoleum Büchenberg features a neo-Gothic facade with polygonal buttresses, sandstone walls, and sixteen niches designated for coffins inside the structure.
Prince Leopold III commissioned the transformation of an existing grotto into this mausoleum in 1855 when the princely crypt in Detmold's Marktkirche reached capacity.
The mausoleum contains two central lead sarcophagi holding the remains of Count Friedrich Adolf and Count Simon Heinrich Adolph of the Lippe dynasty.
The structure stands at coordinates 51.9235 latitude and 8.86748 longitude, with informational panels installed along the Friedrichstaler Canal providing historical context.
The building began as a decorated Muschelgrotte in 1705, featuring marble-clad walls with shell motifs before its conversion into a burial chamber.
