Count of Schmettau built a pyramid in the park in 1784, which would serve as his mausoleum after his death. The pyramid of boulders is accessible via external ramps made ​​of bricks on their head is an observation pavilion. The sandstone portal was designed in 1784 by Carl Gotthard Langhans. The pyramid was never used as a mausoleum, since 1804 Graf Schmettau Garzau sold again and instead Schloss Köpenick acquired as a residence. The sandstone portal was expanded in 1815 and incorporated as a side portal in the Strausbergerplatz parish church of St. Mary. The pyramid fell into the following period. A development association has the overgrown ruins in the years 2001-2010 uncovered and rebuilt. The Langhans sandstone portal was created as a replica of the now located in Strausberg original new. The interior is yet to be restored.
