Hidden in the forest.

Used to be visible from Riede Castle.

The bon vivant Meysenbug created a memorial here for his sister who died at the age of 25. He also died with no offspring. Nice monument in the forest park, which Mr. Meysenbug created as a playground for big boys.

The obelisk stands in the 24-hectare landscape park erected in 1770 by Heinrich von Meysenburg in the early romantic style. The obelisk was erected in 1775 in memory of his late sister. It could be seen from Schloss Riede. The obelisk was also called the "Golden Knöppchen" because of the gilded ball on the lid of the urn.
