The satellite pyramid of Nyuserre at Abusir, immediately south of the main pyramid of pharaoh Nyuserre Ini (r. ~2445–2421 BCE). Original base 15.7 metres per side; original height around 13 metres at a steep slope. Excavated by Ludwig Borchardt for the German Oriental Society between 1903 and 1907. The structure follows the standard Fifth-Dynasty satellite-pyramid template: a small ritual pyramid with a granite-lined chamber and a shallow descending corridor, no human burial, no canopic equipment, and no funerary goods. Nyuserre is the king who built the most elaborate sun temple of the Fifth Dynasty at nearby Abu Ghurob — a complex featuring a giant brick obelisk on a stepped platform, a large alabaster offering altar, and reliefs depicting the seasons of the agricultural year.

A small ritual pyramid attached to the main pyramid of the king who built the most architecturally ambitious solar installation of the Old Kingdom in the desert immediately to the north.
