Essentials about the Imperial Crypt in brief

If you like things a bit spookier and are enthusiastic about historical tombs, the Imperial Crypt is the right place for you. This is where the mortal remains of the imperial Habsburg family have been buried since the beginning of the 17th century. Today, the crypt is the final resting place of over 150 people, including 12 emperors and 19 empresses. Since the crypt is located under a Capuchin monastery and is cared for by the friars of the same name, it is often referred to as the “Capuchin Crypt.” What makes the Imperial Crypt so special are its very imposing and detailed sarcophagi made of tin and bronze.
