    The approximately 13 meter high "pyramid" is the landmark of the park created by the landscape architect Hermann Fürst von Pückler-Muskau (1785-1871). The lake pyramid has been the prince's burial site since 1871. In 1884, Princess Lucie von Pückler-Muskau (1776-1854) was relocated from the old Branitz village cemetery to the pyramid.

      A worthy tomb for the great gardener and bon vivant. It's great what he left us 🫠

        Prince Pückler has been resting here in the lake pyramid since February 1871. This unusual grave impresses with an edge length of over 35m and a height of over 13m.

        Hermann Prince Pückler-Muskau (1785-1871) was one of the greatest European garden artists, writers and globetrotters.

        For his "masterpiece" he transformed the Branitz "desert" into an oasis and created a total work of art of international rank.
