Brunswick Monument at Night - Geneva, Switzerland - Scenic at Night on Waymarking.com

"The Neo-Gothic mausoleum facing the lake is a replica of the Scaligeri mausoleum in Verona built in the 14th century for the lords of the city and rebuilt in Geneva by the City Council for the Duke of Brunswick.

Charles d’Este Guelph, Duke of Brunswick, linguist, musician and horseman, was an eccentric. The German Duke, born in 1804, was driven out of his duchy of Braunschweig in 1830. He exiled himself to several European cities. After making a fortune in Paris, he came to Geneva. He died in 1873, leaving his enormous fortune to the city provided it staged a grandiose funeral and built a monument in his name. Never before had a mausoleum been built in Geneva. No wonder the project gave rise to heated debates! It was built finally in the Jardin des Alpes, the former port of the Pâquis district." (visit link)
