Tomb of Ferdinand Cheval, Memorial monument in Hauterives, France.
The mausoleum features stone carvings, intricate designs, and architectural elements that reflect the artistic techniques used in the Ideal Palace construction.
Ferdinand Cheval constructed this final resting place between 1914 and 1922 after authorities denied his request for burial within his Ideal Palace.
The French Ministry of Culture designated the tomb as a historic monument in 1969, acknowledging its contribution to France's architectural heritage.
Located within the municipal cemetery, the tomb receives visitors throughout the year who can examine the detailed stone carvings and symbolic elements.
The structure combines Egyptian, Christian, and Hindu architectural elements, demonstrating Ferdinand Cheval's interpretation of various global influences.
