The "mausoleum" in the Boitzenburg Castle Park, built in a semi-circle and opening towards the church on the opposite slope of the river valley, is now called "Erbbegräbnis" (hereditary burial place). Built between 1887 and 1889 under the direction of architect Carl Doflein as the burial place of the Counts of Arnim-Boitzenburg, it is one of the last structures to be harmoniously integrated into the existing park structure. Two life-sized stone lions guard the hereditary burial place, thereby highlighting important sightlines. While the lion on the left, situated on a pedestal by the outdoor staircase, holds its massive head directed towards the church, the one on the right looks towards the Apollo Temple and the castle.

A great backdrop is offered to bridal couples in Boitzenburg. With a view of the castle, it has been possible to get married there since 2023. The Apollo Temple was erected in 1855. Adolf Heinrich von Arnim-Boitzenburg commissioned the construction of the octagonal Apollo Temple with a domed roof. It replaced the dilapidated predecessor building. Previously, a statue stood in the middle of the temple, which is said to still lie half-unharmed buried in the mud of the Small Carp Pond below the Apollo Temple.

In Greek mythology, the god Apollo (also known as Apollon) was associated, among other things, with the famous Oracle of Delphi. According to tradition, the last oracle pronouncement of the Pythia (the title of the resident seer/fortune-teller) in the second half of the fourth century – that is, when Christianity was spreading – is said to have been: “Tell the king, the beautifully built house has fallen. Phoibos Apollo has no refuge anymore, the sacred laurel withers, his springs are silent forever, the murmuring of the water is stilled.”
