Beneath the modest church and monastery of the Capuchin Order rest the remains of the rulers of that dynasty in whose empire the sun once never set. A tour of the Capuchin crypt leads through 400 years of Austrian and European history, from the Thirty Years’ War to revolutions and the first ideas for a united Europe.
The greatest artists of their time designed the crypt rooms; on the coffins, diverse symbols of power bear witness to the dynasty’s imperial claim. Symbols of transience and faith reflect personal trust in God and humility before the Creator. Ultimately, however, the human fates behind the offices, the triumphs and defeats are touching. Today, the mortal remains of 150 personalities rest in the Capuchin Crypt.
