It is an unusual building, to say the least, with an original architecture, erected to the glory of the Duke of Brunswick (1804-1873) on the Quai du Mont-Blanc. Charles d'Este-Guelph, Duke of Brunswick, was a singular character. A distinguished linguist, a skilled horseman and a knowledgeable musician, he amassed an immense fortune through excellent investments. Having spent the last three years of his life in Geneva, he instituted the city as his universal legatee on one condition: that it erect a mausoleum for him "in a prominent and dignified position".

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.
