Pyramid tomb (Ober-Rosen)
The pyramid tomb in Ober-Rosen (Polish: Rożnów , Opole Voivodeship , Kreuzburg OS district , Konstadt municipality ) was built in 1780 based on a design by the architect Carl Gotthard Langhans on behalf of Lieutenant General Baron Karl Adolf August von Eben and Brunnen and the General's widow Anna von Möhring and completed in October 1780.
The nine meter high structure is made of brick. The burial chamber is illuminated through small oval window openings. An open stone coffin above the entrance shows the coats of arms of the families von Eben and Brunnen and von Möhring. The pyramid is not far from the wooden church donated by Lieutenant General Carl Adolf August von Eben und Brunnen in 1788.
