Please consider supporting me at   / lindsayholiday   Death is called the great equalizer. And while everyone must die, if you’re a Holy Roman Emperor eternal rest comes with some elaborate, bronze-plated perks. Since 1633, dearly departed members of the Habsburg Dynasty have been interred in an extensive catacomb beneath the Capuchin Church in Vienna, Austria. There are more than 150 people, or at least parts of people buried here, including 12 Emperors, 20 Empresses and 15 other monarchs, as well as 1 protestant and 1 devoted governess who wasn’t a Habsburg at all. Recently, I had the opportunity to visit the Imperial crypt and exhume some of it’s secrets. Let’s explore the 10 burial vaults of the Imperial crypt, dig up the past and find out which Habsburgs are spending eternity together.
