The Imperial Crypt was used as the resting place of the Habsburg Dynasty. The bodies of 145 Habsburg members of royalty, plus urns containing the hearts or cremated remains of four others, are deposited here, including 12 emperors and 18 empresses. In the crypt is the tomb of Franz Joseph (1830-1916) in the middle. On the left is the tomb... More

In the Emperors’ Crypt underneath the Capuchin Church no fewer than 146 members of the Habsburg dynasty are buried – partly, that is. For a strange reason they traditionally had their intestines as well as their hearts removed, and only what then remained was buried in the crypt. The other parts were made to rest elsewhere: the hearts in St.... More

It's a great experience and, let's say a little bit macabre the visit at Kapuziner Crypt, but the decorations of the coffins are great and the entrance is around 5 EUR, so it's not expensive More

It might not be creepy and scary enough for some reviewers, but it was established to honour and remember the deceased... More

An absolutely fascinating (if somewhat macabre) look into Austria's history! More

It's impressive to see how luxurious former Kings and Queens "rest in peace". I have visited the crypt for the third time now and everytime i find new interesting details. More

The Kapuziner Crypt is simply one of my favorite places to visit while in Vienna. For fans of monarchs and dynasties, this is a very interesting exhibition. I personally find it a place to go inside myself, reflect, and be wondered by the craftsmanship of the caskets. More

There are several crypts in Vienna and although this one may be the most prestigious, it is not the most interesting or atmospheric. This was the cleanest most tourist-friendly presentation of death I have ever seen. It is not dark or damp or creepy in the least. For me, this is not a good thing. If I'm walking through a... More
