Brunswig pyramid
amid other tombs
The Brunswig mausoleum, Egyptian-inspired design. “It holds a choice lot overlooking the New Basin Canal along Pontchartrain Blvd. Lucien Brunswig was the head of a local wholesale drug firm.
The family originated in Germany and he chose the design from a tomb in the largest cemetery in Munich. It is a true pyramid, the entrance portal to which is a grilled bronze gate, flanked on one side by a marble sphinx and on the other by a female figure with a libation urn at her side.
In metaphysics, pyramids are reputed to give out a mystic aura. It may be that this attracted a bolt of lightning which moved some of the upper stones apart without disturbing the large apex stone. They were restored to their proper place by the operation of a turnbuckle and the damage was completely repaired. There has been no recurrence of the phenomenon.”
You can find this tomb on Millionaire Circle near the Stonewall Jackson column.
