This stunning mausoleum holds the bodies of wealthy American socialite and congressman Oliver Hazard Perry Belmont and his wife Alva Vanderbilt, a well-known women's rights activist. Designed by Richard Morris Hunt, it is an exact replica of the Chapel of St. Hubert at Château d'Amboise in France, which was designed by Leonardo da Vinci in the Gothic Flamboyant style of the early 1500s and is rumored to contain his body.
