Rapa Pyramid, Pyramid tomb in Gołdap County, Poland

The Rapa Pyramid features a square base measuring 10.4 meters on each side and reaches a height of 15.9 meters in northeastern Poland.

Friedrich Heinrich Fahrenheit constructed this pyramid in 1811, which became a family mausoleum starting with the burial of his three-year-old daughter Ninette.

The structure reflects the nobleman's interest in Egyptian architecture, incorporating the exact internal wall angle found in the pyramids of Giza.

Visitors need to drive to Rapa village and follow marked signs through the woods to reach the pyramid, with parking facilities available nearby.

The mummies inside the pyramid remained preserved for many decades until 2008, when authorities sealed the site and placed flower-covered coffins inside.
