Imperial Crypt

Since 1633 The Imperial Crypt in Vienna has been the principal place of entombment for the Habsburg dynasty, hereditary Emperors of the Holy Roman Empire, and their descendents.

Future Entombments

After the entombment of the last reigning Empress, Zita of Bourbon-Parma{{bioxrefa|147|Imperial Crypt Vaults}} in 1989, it is unlikely that any other members of the Imperial House will receive permission to be buried here, although the body of the last reigning Emperor, Karl I{{bioxrefa|x887|Imperial Crypt Vaults}}, would probably be welcomed if the family wishes to transfer it from Madeira.
