Egyptian temple in Lazienki Park, Neoclassical temple in Lazienki Park, Poland.

The Egyptian Temple features four columns with lotus flower capitals and two water-spraying lion statues guarding its entrance facing the pond.

Constructed between 1819 and 1822 by architect Jakub Kubicki, the temple stood on the Lubomirski Ramparts that protected Warsaw from a plague epidemic.

The temple design reflects the European interest in Egyptian architecture that emerged after Napoleon's 1798 expedition to Egypt.

The structure functions as both a decorative monument and a bridge, with its roof connecting the opposite shores of the park's pond.

An obelisk covered with hieroglyphics and metal sheeting rises from the temple's roof, marking this architectural landmark in the park's landscape.
