About

The Imperial Crypt is located beneath the Capuchin Church and is intended for the burial of members of the former ruling dynasty of Austria, the Habsburgs. Here, 149 members of the Habsburg dynasty, including 12 emperors and 19 empresses and queens, have found their final resting place. Burials in the crypt continue to this day: the most recent one took place on July 16, 2011, when Otto von Habsburg, the last crown prince from the House of Habsburg, was laid to rest here. The Imperial Crypt is divided into 9 smaller crypts, as well as a chapel, where the wife of Emperor Karl I, Empress Zita of Bourbon-Parma, and one of their sons are interred. It was customary to place the hearts of the Habsburgs in silver urns in the Heart Crypt at the Augustinian Church, while other internal organs were buried in copper urns in the Ducal Crypt beneath St. Stephen's Cathedral.
