The Capuchin Church, located on the Neuer Markt, has been the tomb of the Habsburgs for centuries. Externally very simple, concise, almost unremarkable. In fact, the crypt of the Capuchin Order is located under the church of the same name, where the remains of about one and a half hundred people of this dynasty rest, built specifically for this purpose. There is one exception - the burial of the educator Empress Maria Theresa. The cellar is still in use. The last burial took place in 2011, when a prominent European politician, Crown Prince Otto von Habsburg, was buried here.→
