The mausoleum building is located in the middle of a paved courtyard, which is surrounded by a 3.5 meter high wall terminated opposite the entrance on both sides by massive pillars. In front of the stairs there is a sign Pax (Room) in a circle on the tiles. At the entrance to the building, there are two life-size statues of angels on the sides, with their wings folded and flaming swords in their hands. The building of the mausoleum and the surrounding stone wall are made of white sandstone and is located in the middle of the central courtyard and its surroundings form a seven-hectare park. The floor plan of the mausoleum is an irregular octagon. Above the portal is a relief coat of arms of the Andráš family (Hungarian Andrássy család), which is complemented on two sides by eagles and angels holding extinct torches in their hands. In contrast to the outer modesty, the inside is luxuriously decorated artistically. Inside are two large sarcophagi made of white Carrara marble. On the right are the remains of Františka and on the left Dionýz Andráši. In the apside of the mausoleum there is an altar with a statue of St. Francis. The dome of the mausoleum is supported by eight pillars. With its rich decorative splendor, it symbolizes the supernatural beauty in the church's understanding.
