The Garzau Pyramid is the largest fieldstone pyramid in Germany. It is located in Garzau, a district of the municipality of Garzau-Garzin. The pyramid is part of an overall complex consisting of Garzau Castle and the associated landscape park. Friedrich Wilhelm Carl Graf von Schmettau laid out the park in 1779. The pyramid was built in 1784 and was originally intended to serve as a mausoleum for the count. However, he sold the property in 1802. In 1911, the Garzau manor house burned down. While the castle was being rebuilt, the pyramid fell into disrepair. Because of its appearance, the building was called the "knight's castle" in the village. It was not rediscovered until 1999. A year later, a support association was founded, uncovered the building and rebuilt it between 2000 and 2010, mainly using its own resources. The interior is now largely in its original condition.

The pyramid in Garzau, the largest fieldstone pyramid in Germany, is the central landmark of the former palace park. It was built by Count Friedrich Wilhelm Carl von Schmettau (1743 - 1806), a Prussian officer and sovereign, in the late 18th century. The pyramid includes a cellar vault, chambers, a main hall, a portal and a dome. Since 2000, a support association has been committed to the reconstruction and preservation of the building.

Impressive building! Unfortunately, climbing to the top of the pyramid is forbidden.
