Waldviertel Pyramid

The Waldviertel Pyramid is a pyramid in Waldviertel, Austria. It is hidden deep in the forest between Zwettl and Gross-Gerungs. It is the only known structure of its kind in Central Europe. It is of unknown age, and consists of four circular layers of loosely stacked natural stones. The diameter at the base is 14 metres and the height is 7 metres. It has only been under official monument protection since 2001. The elaborate construction seems to indicate a relatively modern design which could have been in an aristocratic situation – possibly part of a baroque garden or park.
