Strange, but I enjoy visiting cemeteries.
They are an insight into the past. This is much different to most, with some amazing masonry work, statues, ironwork and paintings.
Everything is really well looked after.
It would have been nice if there had been some information available and there was no access to the mausoleum. I'm not sure if it's permanently closed. Had to do with looking through the grated door.

We walked through the Cemetery of St. Sebastian, while looking for St. Peter Stiftskulinarium where we had a beautiful lunch. As a result of this, however, we probably did not spend enough time exploring this lovely cemetery. Of course, the fact that it was winter also contributed.

The cemetery of Sebastian ( fiedhof of Sebastion) is one of the nicest & well kept I have seen. In the grounds their are catacombs & some very interesting gravestones. They have a little chapel off the graveyard behind a large oak door + a larger church also in the grounds.

People laugh at me, but I adore European cemeteries and this is one of the best I have seen. I went early and it was so peaceful and quiet - beautiful graves, statues, and paintings - the day was hot, so the shade was very welcome - stayed for about 1 1/2 hours.

This was one place I wanted to see and it was close to our wonderful Hotel Stadtkrug. It is behind St. Sebastian church in a large cloistered area accessed by a small walkway a couple of doors from the entrance to the church in Linzer Gasse. Many important locals were buried here over the centuries including Leopold, the father of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart plus other family members. In addition to graves in the lawned area there are hundreds of wall plaques.

We stumbled across this while following our noses to a baker smell (the excellent bakery is near the entrance). While munching on a warm roll we wandered around the graves and enjoyed the gardens, incriptions and the atmospheric catacombs. Well worth a visit. Find the bakery.

All sorts of interesting people laid to rest here and hidden from the traffic of the very busy pedestrian area St Sebastian's is located in.

We were advised to visit. This cemetery is not as neat as St Peter’s but a couple of members of Mozart’s family are buried here.

The cemetery itself is a peaceful and beautiful place, lots of flowers and candles and elegant gravestones. There were also some pretty awesome skulls and skeletons carved into the more intricate tombs. The catacombs were different to what we expected - for one thing, they went up into the cliff, not down into the ground! They were interesting though fairly small and we were glad the price for them was low enough to be fair.

This cemetery is unlike any you're likely to see elsewhere! The grave markers are beautiful, and you will see the graves of a number of historic people, both in the mausoleum and in the cemetery itself...Paracelsus, Archbishop Wolf-Dietrich, Mozart's wife and also his sister are buried here, for example, and also Michael Haydn. You will likely walk through here on the way to the Bahn to the Festung...be sure to linger and appreciate the quiet beauty. Have been there twice in summer, and the flowers are spectacular, and this time we were there in the snow, which gave a completely different view...also spectacular!
