'''Pyramiden''' ({{IPA|no|pʏrɑˈmîːdn̩|lang}}; {{lang-rus|Пирами́да|r=Piramída|p=pʲɪrɐˈmʲidə}}; literally 'The Pyramid') is an abandoned [[Soviet Union|Soviet]] [[coal mining]] settlement on the Norwegian archipelago of [[Svalbard]] which has become a tourist destination. Founded by [[Sweden]] in 1910 and sold to the Soviet Union in 1927, Pyramiden was closed in 1998 and has since remained largely abandoned with most of its infrastructure and buildings still in place, the cold climate preserving much of the infrastructure left behind.

Since 2007, there have been efforts to make it a tourist attraction; the town's hotel was renovated and reopened in 2013. In the summer, there is a population of six caretakers.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXwUnp4Yjsw&t Pyramiden 2016 film]</ref>
