Pyramide van Austerlitz, Military monument pyramid in Woudenberg, Netherlands.
The Pyramide van Austerlitz rises 36 meters high on the Utrecht Hill Ridge, featuring a stone obelisk placed at its summit in 1894.
French General Auguste de Marmont directed 20,000 soldiers to construct this earth and turf pyramid within 27 days during the summer of 1804.
The structure reflects the French influence on Dutch architecture, combining Egyptian design elements with local construction materials and techniques.
The pyramid opens Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday from 12:00 to 16:00, and Sunday from 11:00 to 17:00, with a visitor center explaining the French period.
The monument serves as an early example of military engineering projects, where soldiers built earthworks during peacetime to maintain discipline and skills.
