After 1780, Franz Moritz Graf Lacy had a "Rousseaugrave" surrounded by a group of trees planted in a circle laid out on his own property. In 1794, the classical burial place "Moritzruhe" surrounded by a lance lattice, intended for himself and his nephew Feldzeugmeister Georg Graf Browne, was erected.

After 1780, Franz Moritz Graf Lacy had a "Rousseau tomb" built on his own property as a tomb, surrounded by a circular group of trees (an alternative to the Josephine ban on pompous burials in churches). In 1794, the classically designed burial place "Moritzruhe", intended for himself and his nephew Field Marshal Georg Graf Browne (* February 18, 1742 Moscow, † October 14, 1794 Vienna), enclosed by a spear fence, was erected (a simple tomb temple with four Tuscan columns at the entrance and a triangular pediment, with panels inside depicting military successes).
