The Potocki Mausoleum at Wilanow, Warsaw



Before going through the Gate to the Wilanow Palace and Gardens, the elevated Potocki Mausoleum is well worth a look.  On closer inspection, the tomb contains some beautiful engravings:


The mausoleum was built from sandstone in the 1830s, and the canopy, in particular, is viewed as a fine piece of neo-Gothic architecture:


Also love the lion with its shield in the foreground here.
