The tomb of a Swedish general in Suomenlinna, Finland...wondering why they used this Greek style; it was very surprising to see.

The tomb is of count Augustin Ehrensvärd, designer of Suomenlinna (or Sveaborg as it was known at that time). The tomb was designed by King Gustav III of Sweden himself in the 18th century. I've no idea why he went for greek style. Maybe it is a tribute for Ehrensvärd's architechtural skills, who knows.
