Mausoleum Graf Carl von Alten, Architectural heritage monument in Hemmingen, Germany
The mausoleum stands on a small island surrounded by a ring moat within the Sundern nature reserve between the districts of Arnum and Wilkenburg.
Georg Ludwig Friedrich Laves designed this burial site for Hanoverian-British general Carl von Alten, completed in 1842 with construction by Conrad Wilhelm Hase.
The Mausoleum Association organizes educational programs, including student writing projects and ghost story readings that connect local youth with the historical structure.
Visitors can access the mausoleum ruins through designated paths in the nature reserve, with guided tours available through the local preservation society.
The original 340-kilogram entrance door of the mausoleum resurfaced in 2016 when it was discovered in a residential house in nearby Gehrden.
