Mausoleum Ziegelsdorf, Heritage monument in Untersiemau, Bavaria, Germany.

The Mausoleum Ziegelsdorf rises 17 meters high in Schafholz forest, featuring a neo-Romanesque chapel design with a central dome and octagonal lantern.

Carl von Seebach, former Prussian landrat, owned Ziegelsdorf Castle in the 1800s before Werner von Seebach commissioned this mausoleum for 150,000 Marks.

The interior houses a stone sarcophagus with black marble lid, complemented by a life-sized marble Christ statue and neo-Romanesque wall paintings.

Multiple hiking paths connect to the mausoleum, including a 6.21-kilometer loop trail from Buchenrod with an elevation gain of 80 meters.

The Free State of Bavaria conducted restoration work in 1992, securing the natural stone facade, roof, and interior with protective gates.
