Located in the Jardin des Alpes, this neo-Gothic mausoleum is dedicated to Charles II d'Este-Guelph, Duke of Brunswick (1804-1873). This wealthy patron of the arts bequeathed his fortune to the city of Geneva in 1873, on condition that a monument be erected in his memory. This unusual monument is made of Carrara marble and Verona stone. Although Geneva was not accustomed to ostentatious funerals, the Duke's generosity prompted the city to accept. Numerous major urban projects were financed, such as the construction of the Grand-Théâtre and the widening of streets.

Bien mais sans plus
Un très beau monuments agrémenté d'un par-terre de fleurs très charmants. Néanmoins, il n'y a aucune originalité, il ne s'agit que d'un simple monument sans grand intérêt.

Situé près des quais et de l'embarcadère des bateaux bus permettant de traverser le lac ce monument contraste heureusement avec les bâtiments austères qui l'entourent. Le style plutôt inattendu en ce lieu de ce mausolée doit traduire l'originalité du riche donateur à qui il est dédié .

Dans le genre kitsch néo-gothique, c'est une réussite ! Et puis, l'exubérance de ce monument contraste heureusement avec l'austérité des immeubles voisins.
