Studnitz Pyramid, Pyramid-shaped tomb near Ernestinum grammar school in Gotha, Germany.
The sandstone pyramid rises from the ground as a burial monument, featuring architectural elements from classical design near the center of Gotha.
Friedrich Wilhelm Döll, a student of French sculptor Jean Antoine Houdon, constructed this burial pyramid after 1779 for Oberhofmarschall Hans Adam von Studnitz.
The structure represents the European revival of pyramid-shaped monuments during the Classical period, following inspiration from the Cestius Pyramid in Rome.
The monument underwent a complete restoration between 2001 and 2002, funded by Kulturstiftung Gotha with an investment of 120,000 Deutsche Mark.
Two original architectural drawings from the construction period remain, showing detailed plans for both the pyramid structure and its internal sarcophagus.
