Quite strange, such a pyramid in the Netherlands. The Pyramid of Austerlitz is therefore the only one in the country and is located in the middle of the forest near Austerlitz on the Utrechtse Heuvelrug. The monument dates from the French era of Napoleon in the early 1800s, who was then donated it.

The “Pyramid of Austerlitz” is located at the highest point of the Utrechtse Heuvelrug. The monument dates from the time of Napoleon in the early 1800s. In 1804, General Marmont had the pyramid built by the French-Batavian army, as a tribute to his friend Napoleon.

The pyramid is part of the Grebbe Line with more than 40 km and 2 centuries of military history, if we forget the Romans for a moment because they were also able to do something here.
