Mausoleum, Neoclassical ducal mausoleum in Gertrudenfriedhof, Oldenburg, Germany

The mausoleum features a square central space with a flat gable roof, resting on a podium decorated with false quoining at its corners.

Duke Peter I Friedrich Ludwig von Oldenburg commissioned the construction between 1786 and 1790 following the death of his wife Frederike during childbirth.

The structure contains an aedicule for Princess Frederike on the north wall, with side niches serving as burial places for Prince Georg and Princess Adelheid.

The Deutsche Stiftung Denkmalschutz funded restoration work on the mausoleum between 2011 and 2013, preserving its historical architecture for future generations.

The mausoleum represents the first neoclassical building in Oldenburg, introducing architectural elements that influenced subsequent constructions throughout the city.
