Erdbeertempel, Monopteros in Bad Pyrmont, Germany.
The Erdbeertempel is a circular temple with columns located in the Kurpark gardens of Bad Pyrmont. The round design allows visitors to see the landscaped grounds from multiple viewpoints as they walk around it.
Built in the late 1700s, this structure was created as part of the garden design that helped establish Bad Pyrmont as a spa destination. The neoclassical style was common for German spa towns of that era.
The name refers to strawberry cultivation that was once important to the region's reputation and identity. Today, people use this spot as a natural stopping point while walking through the park.
The temple can be reached through several walking paths in the Kurpark and is accessible from all sides. Cyclists can use the surrounding routes, though the paths leading directly to it are mainly for pedestrians.
The structure looks different throughout the seasons, and morning mist often creates special moments when it surrounds the columns. These conditions are most common in autumn and winter, making visits at different times of year visually interesting.
