Pyramid of Austerlitz

In 1804, General Marmont had the Pyramide van Austerlitz built as an homage to Napoleon and to give the 20,000 soldiers something to do. The design was inspired by the Pyramid of Gizeh. The visitor centre provides interesting information about the French era. The Pyramid is located at the stunning and public country estate owned by the Beaufort family: Den Treek - Henschoten.
