Mausoleum in the Gadow Castle Park

The mausoleum in the Gadow Castle Park in the northwest of the Prignitz in Brandenburg was built in 1816 for the late Royal Prussian Field marshal Wichard Joachim Heinrich von Möllendorf (1724–1816).

The preacher's nephew from Cumlosen gave the speech at the opening of the mausoleum in front of clergy and numerous guests.

[2] The building is built on an approximately square floor plan of 12 by 12 meters and shows a tomb structure based on Greek temple architecture with a columned entrance (portico) and a three-step staircase.

[3]A limestone block is embedded in the decorative area in the middle of the gable triangle, from which an arched niche with a skulpturale designed oil lamp was carved out.

The two side aisles are only accessible via the low openings and enabled choirs to set up discreetly at funeral ceremonies.
