Cript of the Hapsburgs

The other day I went to the Hapsburg royal cript. Almost all the dead Hapsburgs are burried there. The Hapsburgs ruled a part of Europe for along time. There were dozens of coffins and all were decorated with skulls, angels, and pictures of battles. The Hapsburg symbol (below) is a double headed eagle with two crowns. Maria Theresia and her husband, Francis of Lorrain are burried there and they have a huge double coffin!

  1. Cool! I always find places like this fascinating when I watch them on Discovery channel but also a little eerie. Good close up pic.
