Capuchin Church, is located on the Neyer Markt square in the Innere Stadt near the Hofburg Palace. It is a church of the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin and acts as the final resting place for the royal members of the House of Habsburg, the Emperors of the Holy Roman Empire.
The church was donated by the will of Anna of Tyrol, consort of Emperor Matthias of Habsburg, to the Capuchin brothers when they were at Vienna for Catholic Revival. Consecrated after the Thirty Years’ War, the subterranean Imperial Crypt is the biggest attraction of the church. The remains of nearly 150 Roman Emperors are preserved in the mausoleum - 145 tombs and 5 urns containing cremated ashes. The most recent entombment took place in July 2011 when the last heir to the Austrian and Hungarian throne, Otto von Habsburg, passed away.
