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.

The castle park on the island is practically non-existent. The entrance to the museum (entrance fee 1 euro) is in the inner courtyard area.
